Replication of Waste Concern’s Decentralized Composting Model in Vietnam and Sri Lanka

 

With the support from UNESCAP, Waste Concern successfully replicated it small scale  (3 tons/ day capacity) compost plants in the Quay Nhon City of Vietnam and Matale City of Sri Lanka. Later both the cities are requesting Waste Concern to bundle these small scale plants for their respective cities.

Quay Nhon City, Vietnam generates= 80 tons/day (60% organic)

Matale City of Sri Lanka generates= 30 tons/day   (60% organic)

CDM Project Cycle for Large Scale

> 15,000 Tons of CO2e)/Year

Estimate of Cost (US $)

A) Up-front (pre-operational) Costs:

 

1. ER Feasibility Assessment

5,000 - 20,000

2. Preparation of the PDD

25,000 – 40,000

3. Registration

10,000

4. Validation

10,000 -15,000

5. Legal Work

20,000 – 25,000

Total Up-front Costs:

70,000 – 110,000

B) Operational Phase Costs:

 

  1. Monitoring and Verification

$3,000 – 15,000 per year[2].

 

 

 

For small-scale CDM project the total upfront transaction cost is estimated as US $ 25,000 to 40,000.
