Camco is an active and experienced developer of clean energy projects.Camco works with manufacturers, project developers, technology providers and investor groups to create projects that deliver clean energy and maximise sustainable energy production across a range of sectors. Animal and agricultural methane projectsManure emits methane, a high-potency greenhouse gas. The collection and combustion of methane gas is a widely recognised mitigation method and Camco has projects in place that capture the methane, turning it into electricity and selling this through the electricity grid. Methane has a greenhouse gas global warming potential of 21 times CO2, so opportunities to destroy or utilise methane can be developed into valuable carbon assets. Under the U.S regulatory framework, tradable offsets can be earned for these kinds of projects.Industrial energy efficiency projectsHeat recovery projects can reduce energy consumption as well as often reducing the emissions emitted to the environment and often improving production. Camco is involved in many IEE projects where waste heat is captured in a recovery system and used to generate electricity either for use on site or for the local electricity grid. The returns from industrial energy efficiency investments can be high and the technical risks relatively low.Coal mine methane projectsCamco has been at the forefront of efforts to reduce methane emissions from coal mines, where trapped gas disturbed by underground mining activity is normally vented into the atmosphere to prevent dangerous build-up of gas in the mine. We have helped develop the UN consolidated methodology for coal bed and coal mine methane, ACM008.Municipal solid waste (MSW) projectsCamco is developing projects that convert municipal solid waste (MSW) from a landfill source to energy in the form of heat, biofuels or electricity. MSW uses trash or garbage instead of coal to fire industrial boilers that create steam. This is considered a renewable and sustainable source of energy because the source is household or commercial rubbish that will always be produced. Landfill gas capture projectsThe degradation process of organic waste in a landfill generates methane that can have a greenhouse effect on the environment 21 times more powerful than CO2 has in one year. The gases produced within a landfill can be collected and flared off or used to produce heat or electricity. Biomass energy generation projectsTrees, agricultural crops and other living plant materials store solar energy in the form of organic matter. Biomass to power is a technology which is showing huge potential for CDM development and Camco is a leading market player in the development and registration of complex biomass CDM projects.
