Phase One (2003): Achieved
Component 1- Case studies (8): The documentation of two existing cases (Chile and Brazil) and two emerging experiences (Mexico and Uruguay) in LAC, two emerging cases in Latvia, and two existing North American cases (Ontario and Delaware). The documentation of existing experiences would focus on best practice for LFG recovery and utilization projects, including cost-effectiveness, organizational arrangements and private sector participation, institutional roles, minimum regulatory requirements and incentives in the energy, environment and urban sectors, and technical issues (planning, design, operation).
Component 2 - Handbook: Drafting, review and revision of a "handbook" for the preparation of LFG-to-energy projects.
Component 3 – Launching Workshop: The workshop would be held at an existing LFG facility and would assemble representatives of public and private sector, stakeholders from the identified target countries, along with operators and experts from existing LAC facilities and pilot sites, LFG experts, professional associations, and the USEPA and Environment Canada, and Bank staff. The workshop would serve to (i) present and discuss the case studies and the first draft results; (ii) review the draft handbook and get specific additional input; and (iii) facilitate regional and national discussions on the subject matter. The workshop will also serve to create a knowledge network on LFG.
Component 4 - Knowledge network: A knowledge network on LFG capture and utilization systems and corresponding topics will be implemented.
Component 5 –Publication of the Handbook: The final editing of the handbook and proceedings, and their production in electronic (CD and web) format and hardcopy.
 
 
Phase Two (2004):
Component 1 – Field visits and identification of LF sites with a potential project
Component 2 – Finance feasibility studies for those potential sites.
Component 3 – Organization of two sub-regional workshops for regional dissemination of experiences and lessons learned in Phase One and of the Handbook.
