The objective of the present essay is to analyze how to make feasible the financing of projects for the collection of biogas and the generation of electric power in sanitary landfills, inserted into the clean development mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto’s Protocol. The exploratory research assesses the current stage of the solid residues in Brazil, the means for the financing of sanitation undertakings and the credit limits for the public and private entrepreneurs. It identifies how the credit restrictions to the public sector impair investments, either due to the inability of assuming debts or even due to the lack of payment capacity. The case studies analyzed reveal that the carbon credit is a mechanism that contributes to the feasibility of the process for the transformation of biogas into electric power. The results from the economic and financial analysis of such cases reveal that the electric power generation and trading activity in sanitary landfills is economically not feasible; however, when associated to the revenue from the sale of certified emission reductions (CERs), in the carbon credit market, the undertaking becomes feasible, presenting a positive net present value (NPV), with a capital cost of 15.00% p.a, and provides an internal rate of return (IRR) of 36.19% p.a. It further shows that the electric power generation activity produces a deficit, but its income has a paramount importance in the financial engineering of the structured operations similarly to the project finance, in a society of specific purposes (SSP), since the receivables, originated from the energy sale contracts, compose the operation’s set of guarantees. Such modeling is a proposal of the present dissertation as a feasible alternative for the financing of projects which may provide the ingress of US$700 million in the solid residues sector until 2012 and also positively contribute to the reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in the amount of 70 million t of CO2e. In the same line, the assessment of the financial impact from the tax reduction appears as an alternative that may positively contribute to the entrepreneurs’ decision making, causing the projects to be materialized, since the fiscal waiver makes investments more attractive to the sponsors of resources that compose the funds to make projects feasible.

California SB 54 Is Here: What Companies Using Plastic Packaging Need To Do Now | JD Supra
SB 54, the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act, was signed into law on June 30, 2022. Its goal is to create a framework that shifts waste management costs from the local government onto producers. To that end, SB 54 requires producers to (1) reduce the use of Covered Materials; and (2) ensure that all Covered Materials are recyclable or compostable by 2032. The definition of a producer is not 100% straightforward. You are considered a producer if you are the person who manufactures a product that uses covered material and who owns or is the licensee of the brand or trademark under which the product is used in a commercial enterprise, sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the state. [1] However, if no such person is located in California, the producer of the covered material is the owner or, if the owner is not in the state, the exclusive licensee of a brand or trademark under which the product using the covered material is used in a commercial enterprise, sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the state. [2] But if there is no such person in California either, the producer is the person who sells, offers for sale, or distributes the product that uses the covered material in or into the state. [3] To the extent you are a producer, the final regulations implementing SB 54 which went into effect May 1, 2026 have set near-term milestones with which you must comply. First, by June 1, 2026, all producers (subject to very limited exceptions) must either (1) participate in an approved Producer Responsibility Organization ( PRO ), or (2) decide to comply individually and register with CalRecycle. Depending on which path a producer decides to follow, it will also be subject to subsequent deadlines. Producers who plan to participate in an approved PRO must have a producer responsibility plan in place by June 15, 2026. If you choose to comply individually and register with CalRecycle, they must approve you, and once...
