Carbon Credits from Compost
Client: Sandoval County
Location: Sandoval County, New Mexico
Market: Government
Services: Carbon Credit Analysis
Notable: Calculated emission reductions from the County’s landfill through in-vessel containerized composting. Sandoval County, located in central New Mexico, operates the NaturTech Composting System, an in-vessel composting operation at the Sandoval County, NM landfill. The composting operation uses diverted green and woody construction and demolition (C&D) waste that would otherwise be landfilled or left on the ground. Prior to operations the green and woody C&D waste was landfilled, and the horse manure was either landfilled or left on the ground to decompose. The system is capable of processing up to 50 tons of green waste every 21 days.
Mature compost is either sold to customers or used by the County in revegetation projects.
This composting operation is the only in-vessel composting installation of its kind within New Mexico.
The total estimated annual GHG reductions are approximately 559 metric tons CO2e on a 10 year cycle.
Notable: First urban composting carbon credit project in New Mexico
