THE Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) is eligible to receive its first set of carbon credits as a result of its reduced methane greenhouse emissions.
The commercial statutory body made the announcement yesterday after its Kinoya-based Gas Flare Project had contributed to the reduction of methane gas emissions produced at the Kinoya Treatment Plant.
The carbon credits are the direct result of WAF’s ability to trap inside a dome and burn off methane gases generated by the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in sludge at the Kinoya Sewerage Treatment Plant.
“This is a milestone achievement for WAF as we are the first South Pacific wastewater utility to use its wastewater system to reduce methane greenhouse emissions,” said WAF general manager special projects Taitusi Vakadravuyaca.
