RECHAZA PROGRAMA DE COMPENSACIÓN DE EMISIONES DE MP10 DEL PROYECTO “EXTRACCIÓN DE ÁRIDOS KM -6,0 AL -7,0 RÍO CACHAPOAL” ÁRIDOS GUERRICO RCA N° 11/2020.

Summary

A sand and gravel extraction project in Chile, "Extracción de Áridos km -6,0 al -7,0 Río Cachapoal," needed to compensate for its MP10 particulate matter emissions to comply with regional air pollution regulations. The project owner proposed an emissions compensation program that aimed to offset combustion-related emissions through green area maintenance activities. This proposed program was rejected because the methodology violated established guidelines, which explicitly prohibit compensating combustion emissions with non-combustion activities.
