Several factors affect the quantity of gas actually collected by a gas control system. These factors will be studied as the project is implemented. However, only gas actually burned will be claimed as a reduced emission. NMHC are ozone precursors. The project will, therefore, decrease ozone production in the Buenos Aires area.
Ozone is a greenhouse gas as well as a local air contaminant.
Once collected and burned, methane cannot re-form in the atmosphere. There is no possibility of reversal. Strategy for Reducing the Risk of Future Loss or Reversal of GHG Benefits F. Funding of the AIJ project 1. The development efforts were partially funded under U.S. DOE's Small Grants Program, which was issued in June 1998, and awarded in September 1998. In return, investors will be granted a predetermined fraction of the GHG emission reduction benefits.
