1. The document discusses applying the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol to waste management projects in Punjab to earn carbon credits. CDM allows industrialized countries to offset emissions by investing in emissions reduction projects in developing countries. 2. Several potential waste management CDM projects are proposed, including biogas capture from sewage and organic waste. Case studies show projects can be financially viable based on earnings from carbon credits and energy/fertilizer sales. 3. A roadmap is suggested to identify additional CDM potential projects and modify ongoing projects to qualify for carbon credits where possible.
