Abstract (No more than 800 bytes)Waste-to-energy (WTE) is seen as one of the solutions to the worsening problem of major dumpsites in Metro Manila, Philippines. Thus, the Payatas Landfill Gas Recovery Project is being implemented, mainly, to curb greenhouse gas emission, control leachate contamination and improve the overall condition of the dumpsite. The mechanism for this project is the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) which is an offshoot of the Kyoto Protocol. In this poster, environmental, economic and social impacts are analyzed. Role of the community living within the dumpsite is considered since scavenging is a major source of living for the people. Recommendations are also determined as the project is considered for replicability in other dumpsites in Metro Manila. Valuable lessons may arise as developing countries, like the Philippines, venture into renewable energy development.
