The Doña Juana Landfill in the District Capital of Bogotá is the biggest sanitary landfill in Colombia, and one of the largest under the UN Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in South America. The project involves landfill gas capture (LFG), flaring treatment and use for thermal energy production on-site or in nearby industries. The landfill provides a solution for the disposal of around 2 million tons of household solid waste generated by the almost 8 million inhabitants of the District Capital of Bogotá each year. The technology applied in the project activity is the combustion of the landfill gas captured at the landfill gas network, using different processes like direct flare in burners or gas-to-energy reciprocating engine use for electricity production.

TransMilenio is Bogotá’s sustainable mass urban transport system based on a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) scheme. The objective of the project is to establish a safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable and effective modern mass transit system that ensures high levels of passenger transportation. TransMilenio is the BRT with the highest passenger capacity worldwide, becoming the main symbol of the city, transforming its physical infrastructure, and also influencing land use, productivity, road fatalities, crime rates and health issues.
