1 The Global Methane Initiative - Philippine Landfill Gas Forum in Parklane International Hotel, Cebu City is an offshoot of the Philippine Landfill Gas Forum held at Eastwood Richmonde Hotel Quezon City for the Luzon Cluster. The purpose of the forum is to gather insights and experiences of how energy from landfill gas projects are developed from the perspective of Pangea Green Energy, a private landfill gas power plant operator, and the local government unit (LGU) of Cebu City through EMB Region 7 and CENRO. A landfill gas modeling exercise using the Inayawan Landfill data, gathered by the PCIEERD project team during their visit, was illustrated by Mr. Bryce Lloyd of the Organic Wastes Technologies (OWT) Hongkong, to the participants. The Opening Remarks was given by the PCIEERD Deputy Executive Director, Engr. Raul C. Sabularse while the GMI Landfill Gas Project Opportunities and Advancement was presented by Engr. Albert G. Mariño. Other lectures were delivered by local experts from Manila and Cebu. Morning Speakers: Josefina Ramos, Eligio Ildefonso, Jeanette Laurente and Ruby De Guzman with Master of Ceremonies Ms. Emelita Dimapilis and Engr. Raul C. Sabularse Afternoon Speakers: William Chris Artajo of CENRO, Charlton Materum of Pangea Green Energy and Fraces Dolly Guillen of EMB Region 7 The forum was well attended by 106 participants from government agencies, academe and private companies who are involved in landfill and landfill gas project development in Visayas. During the open forum, most of the discussion focused on the different regulations on municipal solid waste management and incentives on CDM related projects. As resulted in the press release organized by DOST 7, GMA News, a local media, broadcast the landfill forum in the Visayas and interviewed Engr. Albert Mariño regarding the objectives of the forum. Approximately 106 participants from government, & private sectors and academe attended the forum Engr.

Philippine Landfill Forum – Mindanao Cluster April 24, 2012

Parklane International Hotel, Cebu City

Open Forum Discussions Session 1 E.L Paradela, DOST 7

- Estimate on the volume of methane gas extracted/recovered vis a vis the volume of the municipal waste

Eligio T. Ildefonso, NSWMC - The NSWMC is working on the estimates of the volume of methane gas extracted

from the landfills with PCIEERD through its GIS project. _________________________________________________________________________ J.T. Bigornia, COSPO

- Possibility for the Civil Society to join the GMI Project Network - Process of Joining

Albert G. Mariño, PCIEERD - Civil society can join the GMI project network. Any civil society can join the project

network of GMI, they only need to go the GMI website. Details are also found on the GMI factsheets that were distributed during their registration.

_________________________________________________________________________ E.L Paradela, DOST 7

- Are the grants from GMI a component to loan applications from abroad? Albert G. Mariño, PCIEERD

- The grants from GMI is a different component from loan applications _________________________________________________________________________

Engr. Clavejo, Southern Leyte, PSTO

- Availing the LBP support/program for Landfill CDM related project in the province - Program/criteria for the small piggery farms

Ms. Josefina A. Ramos, LBP - Arrangement with lending centers were pre-determined by the LBP. The list of the

lending centers is in the brochures distributed during the registration. These lending centers will initial assess their financial status and refer them to the LBP Head Office in Manila

- A minimum of 300 waste generated is the requirement/criteria to provide loans for a small piggery farm.

- Further, in relation the presentation of Ms. Laurente, since CDM is expected to last till 2013, most projects have been disapproved at an early stage especially those that are not meeting all the requirements (technical in nature)

_________________________________________________________________________ Engr. Agular, Bayawan City

- Instead of flaring, other technology that can be utilized, i.e. convertsion to LPG Eligio T. Ildefonso, NSWMC

- It might not be technically feasible for the Bayawan City or any LGU at the moment. Further, the technology to convert LFG to liquid is quite expensive. It might not be cost efficient for the LGU especially for the small landfills.

Page 15: Global Methane Initiative (GMI) Philippine Landfill Gas ......Bande, Renato L. VP for Operations Asian Energy Systems Corporation Cebu, Consolacion, Brgy. Pulong Capangpangan, Danilo

15

_________________________________________________________________________ Lutherian Hernando, CENRO, Toledo

- Estimated volume of solid waste that could generate 15MW Eligio T. Ildefonso, NSWMC

- The volume of solid waste that is required to generate 15MW depends on the waste characterization analysis. But base on some studies, it could be 1 ton of SW could generate 1 MW.

_________________________________________________________________________

Cristine Homez, Talisay, CPPC - Availing the GHC Inventory Training

Jeanette Laurente, CDM Consultant - Send a letter requesting for a GHC Inventory Training through DOE.

_________________________________________________________________________ LGU in Cebu

- Developing landfill, they have 1 proposal where they will manage their waste to bio-ethanol. With two sub proposals with (not only residual and it is not only in the area.

o Pyrolysis o Hazardous and medical waste

Ruby de Guzman, DOE – Bio-ethanol should come from agricultural waste and not solid waste. Reverse

technology (plastics are from petroleum) Eligio T. Ildefonso, NSWMC

- Hazardous waste there should be a study regarding the facility to treat the medical hazardous waste.

- There are lots of technology that can process hazardous waste: pyrolosis. Pyrolysis can be allowed as long as they comply with the emissions standards and the clean air act. RA 2003 is no longer applicable.

_________________________________________________________________________ Engr. Hilado (NAGA City)

- Possibility to use the electrification stand to embark on the RE Project, i.e. Cebu has two cement plants (APO in Cebu and San Fernando)

Ruby De Guzman, DOE - Case to case basis, depends upon the type of project. - As long as they have the capability and benefits to host the community

_________________________________________________________________________ Randy Navarro, Inayawan Landfill Manager

- Status of GMI in the Cebu landfill project Eligio T. Ildefonso, NSWMC

- Inayawan Landfill particularly is registered under UNFCC, but they lack the implementation therefore they can not sell CERS (estimated) unless the project is implemented.

Ruth Cruz, NEDA 7

- Involvement of DOE for the SWM plan - Finalization of FIT

Ruby de Guzman, DOE - Under the RE law, DOE have targeted to produce 256 megawatt by 2015 – 2016. - DOE is in the loop to oversight the SWM plan since there are certain projects on SW

that can be used for RE. - FIT will be finalized soonest. As soon as ERC approves the final rate for each of the

resources. Target is within the 2nd Quarter. Session 2 Engr. Dela Cruz of Cebu Engineering Faculty

- Corrective measures done by the LGU to correct the current realities William Artajo, Cebu City LGU

- There are programs like waste segregation. A large portion is being done by the DPS (closer coordination).

- Budget for plastic to fuel have been approved and projects these year will focus on the capacity buildings.

- Promotion of organic farming per barangay - IEC on mitigation programs on SWM

_________________________________________________________________________ Dr. Virgilio Abellana (comment) College of Engineering San Jose Recoletos

- In addition to the activities of the LGU, the academe have partnered with the LGU. Several studies conducted by the academe were provided to the LGU which are there basis for their SWM planning, i.e. survey in 80 Barangays of Cebu City shows which reflects the waste characterization and analysis of most barangays.

_________________________________________________________________________ Ricardo Mendoza, Madaue LGU

- Issues on the MRFs in the barangay are being delayed - MRF required in the Barangay level - Checking on the non-compliance of these MRFs (MRF are tasked to collect, select,

decompost) William Artajo, Cebu City LGU

- There are barangays that are planning to put up their own MRFs. It is easy for the rural areas since there are available area for them unlike the urban areas there are few areas.( i.e. Manguba and Adlaw - both MRF and dumpsite).

- Challenge on the resources: Sustainability of the barangays to put up an MRF

_________________________________________________________________________

J.T. Bigornia, COSPO

- Penalized for the Butuanon River Pollution due to the Clean Air Act Frances Dolly Guillen, EMB 7

- The LGU will be responsible for the Butuanon River Pollution (1 meter from the stretch of the river)

_________________________________________________________________________ Lutheran Hernando , CENRO

- Private entities who cater toxi or hazardous waste Frances Dolly Guillen, EMB 7

- There are numerous private entities who cater to toxic and hazardous waste. In addition, EMB can also provide the toxic and hazardous waste.

_________________________________________________________________________ Lutheran Hernando , CENRO

- Management of Waste Disposal in the mountain barangays of Cebu City William Artajo, CENRO, Cebu LGU

- The barangays are encourage to compost and recycle. - Whether urban or rural areas, most practices are mostly the same.

_________________________________________________________________________ Chrsitine Holmes, Talisay, LGU

- Plan to establish an LFG extraction facility in Cebu City

William Artajo, CENRO, Cebu LGU - There were plans to put up an LFG extraction facility in Cebu City. There are even

studies conducted related to these plan. However due to funding issues and administration changes, these plan was not pursued.

- Maybe there will be new plans since there are already existing studies _________________________________________________________________________ Chrsitine Holmes, Talisay, LGU

- ECC requirement mandatory for recyclable buyers

- Names of recyclable buyers near Inayawan Landfill Frances Dolly Guillen, EMB 7

- Since it is under WM category, therefore they are required to have ECC but they must have support clearances for hazardous waste.

- In Inayawan landfill there are no recyclable buyers near the area

_________________________________________________________________________ Chrsitine Holmes, Talisay, LGU

- Status of the scavengers/informal settlers in the Payatas Landfill - Alternative livelihood means after the formal structures and organization of the area - Role of the LGU and their share from the CERs

Charlton Materum, Pange Green Energy - The dumpsite is still open, therefore there are still scavengers in the area (controlled

dumpsite) - The scavengers were grouped into different into different social clusters, One group

for MRF, one group to segregation, and one group to other process, etc - The LGUs through the Payatas Group of Operations handles the administrative side

of the Landfill operation (SWM) and the management of the scavengers. - About 10 – 40% is the share of the LGUs in the CERs (Estimate)

_________________________________________________________________________ Jessie Tabanao, Ecowaste Coalition, Visayas

- Confidence level on the 100% implementation of the 6 laws presented earlier Frances Dolly Guillen, EMB 7

- These laws are not fully implemented, i.e. IEC campaigns are not promoted, implementation of the pollution control is not sure. But the government (national and local government) are exerting all their resources and manpower to ensure the implementation of these laws

_________________________________________________________________________ Joan Jacque, Hydronet Consultancy

- RA 9003 mandates the closure of dumpsites, how are dumpsites regulated since most of these should be closed.

Frances Dolly Guillen, EMB 7 - EMB are struggling to deal with the LGUs since they should be the one implementing

the closure of these dumpsites. - However, LGUs are struggling to pursue the closure of these dumpsites

Session 3 LGU

- Extraction of Energy in dumpsites - Efficiency of these extraction

Bryce Lloyd, OWT - Extraction of energy in dumpsites is feasible. - In terms of efficiency, as seen in Payatas dumpsite, they are still extracting methane. - It depends upon the size of the dumpsite, if its too small, it might not be efficient.

Other factors that might affect efficiency is the geographical location, moisture content, waste dumped in the dumpsite, age of the dumpsite and the continuity of0 waste acceptance in the dumpsite

- In the US, dumpsites generate a small amount of methane. _________________________________________________________________________

- Period of methane recovery from the landfill Bryce Lloyd, OWT

- It depends upon the waste characterization, but on the average its between 6 months to 1 year

- Methane gas capture system for landfills and other sectors Bryce Lloyd, OWT

- Capturing system and utilization system is different for each source of methane (agriculture, oil and gas, coal, wastewater and landfill)

- That will depend on the need of your sector and the amount of methane it produces _________________________________________________________________________
