CDM project application 3197 Aguan: Biogas recovery from palm oil mill effluent (POME) ponds and biogas utilisation Exportadora del Atlántico Aguan, Honduras

Biofuel Watch, Salva la Selva/Rettet den Regenwald, and CDM Watch have challenged the proposed CDM project 3197 in Bajo Aguan, Honduras. The organizations argue that the project fails to meet 'sustainable development' and additionality requirements due to the project developer's alleged human rights abuses and disputed land claims.

• The project application for biogas recovery from palm oil mill effluent (POME) ponds by Exportadora del Atlntico has been recommended for approval by TUV Sued, with a review request deadline of 5 January 2011.
• The project is contested on the grounds that it may not support 'sustainable development' or meet additionality requirements because of the developer's alleged human rights abuses and questionable land claims for the oil palm plantations.
