Armadillo Holdings Inc. will construct and install biomass based boilers to replace the existing bunker fuel oil (BFO) fired boilers in Kalinisan Steam Laundry, Inc. laundry facilities in Metro Manila, Philippines. The project activity utilizes rice husks, an abundant waste product produced by local rice mills, as the primary biomass fuel for heat generation.
Through this action the project expects to displace over 6 million liters of BFO annually, resulting in emission reductions of approximately 18,500 tCO₂e per annum. REGISTERED MARCH 2009.

Under the project, Shree Nakoda Ispat Limited plan a 12 MW biomass (rice husk) based power generation project at their plant in Siltara (Raipur). This will be in addition to their existing power generation through waste heat recovery within the same plant. Power demand beyond the onsite generation capacity will be met with supplies from the Chhattisgarh State Electricity Board grid. The project will export excess power to the grid when demand at the plant is low.
The project activity reduces GHG emissions by generating electricity from biomass (rice husk), which would have been otherwise generated by fossil fuel based power plants connected to the grid. The project is expected to generate approximately 57,000 CERs per year. REGISTERED OCTOBER 2010.

This project combusts empty fruit bunches, a major waste-stream from the palm-oil industry, to generate biomass power. The 11.5MW turbine supplies power to the grid. Methane emissions from the rotting empty fruit bunches will be avoided due to their controlled combustion. The project is expected to generate 230,000 CER/year and was registered in JULY 2006.

The project is a 20MW biomass power generation project located in Pichit, Thailand. It combusts rice husk, an agricultural waste, to generate biomass-based power that is supplied to the grid. The project reduces greenhouse gases using biomass to produce carbon-neutral power and contributes to efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels for power generation. In addition, the project provides a solution for effective management of agricultural waste, as rice husk is often left to decay or burnt in the field.

Another feature of the project is its use of state-of-the-art technology that allows the production of high quality non-crystalline silica ash by-product. Although not part of the registered CDM project activity, this rice husk ash can be used as a clinker substitute in Portland cement, which will allow for further GHG reductions.

This pioneering project was one of the first CDM projects in the world to initiate the validation process, having commissioned a DOE in 2002. AM0004 (now ACM0006), the first renewable energy-related CDM methodology to be approved, was prepared by Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities for this project. REGISTERED JUNE 2007.
