View Case Study

Summary

Biothermica Technologies Inc. used an innovative waste-to-energy technology in Haiti to convert municipal solid waste into renewable biogas, significantly reducing methane emissions. Plans are underway for an engineered sanitary landfill with biomethane production technology that will be used as fuel by waste collection vehicles and as bottled gas in substitution of propane and wood/mangrove for local biodiversity conservation. The project anticipates reduction of 6 million tons of equivalent CO2 emissions over 30 years, a reduction of the reliance of imported fossil fuels, and health improvements within the local population.
