Resource information
Carbon Finance Assist (CF-Assist) is a
capacity building and technical assistance program
established by the World Bank to help develop national
capacities of developing countries on carbon finance and
clean development mechanism (CDM) activities. The objective
of the mission is to develop CDM Program of Activities
(PoA), based on a programmatic approach for CDM Project
Activities (CPA) in solid waste sector in Morocco. More
specifically the assignment consists of the assessment and
validation of the feasibility of a nationwide CDM PoA for
the solid waste in Morocco and the development of a Program
Idea Note (PIN) summarizing the results of the program
assessment. Based on the information collected during the
mission first phase, an assessment model of the biogas
potential was developed for each targeted landfill. The PoA
expected emissions reductions were then evaluated for two
possible scenarios: an optimistic scenario assuming that all
the eligible landfills will develop CDM under the program
for both the biogas capture and electricity generation
options and a more conservative scenario assuming gas
flaring option only in most promising landfills.
