Feasibility study & project advisory
The Haifa Bay Municipal Association for Environmental Protection is a regional organization dedicated to addressing environmental challenges in the Haifa Bay area, one of Israel's most industrialized regions. As part of its ongoing efforts to tackle waste management and reduce environmental impact, the association is currently exploring the feasibility of a gasification project. This innovative technology has the potential to convert municipal solid waste into synthetic gas (syngas), which can be used for energy generation while significantly reducing landfill dependency and greenhouse gas emissions.
Oporto Carbon developed a custom dashboard for the project’s planning and development, providing the Association with a data-driven decision making tool to take the project from pilot stage to execution as well as providing legal and regulatory advice in the project’s planning.

ELECTRO RECYCLING
Project development & carbon rights certification
Electro Recycling is one of the first companies in Israel to establish large electronic waste recycling facilities for LDAs (Large Domestic Appliances), which includes refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, etc. The facility will meet the European CENELEC standard. The company recycles refrigerant gas, one of the most prominent and harmful greenhouse gasses that are currently released into the air.
Oporto Carbon has been working to develop this project’s carbon rights since inception. Via intense work vis-a-vis the government, Oporto Carbon managed to secure a “Letter of Authorization” (LOA) for this project from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the first and only one in Israel, paving the way to register the project through the CORSIA mechanism and is currently being registered through ACR.

SMART WASTE
End-to-end carbon rights development
A pioneering facility designed to handle municipal waste through advanced recycling and energy production methods. Located near Rishon Lezion, this facility is expected to process approximately 400,000 tons of municipal solid waste annually, accounting for about 10% of Israel's household waste. The plant will feature a state-of-the-art sorting facility for mixed solid waste and an advanced on-site anaerobic digestion treatment plant for organic waste, offering a comprehensive environmental solution in one strategic location. Construction began in early 2023, with operations anticipated to commence in late 2026.
Oporto Carbon has been developing the project's carbon rights from the get go, starting with a feasibility study and advising to ensure the facility’s carbon rights are preserved.
