The main cause of damage to the ideal composition of the atmosphere that trigger global warming is happening carbon emissions (CO2, CH4, CFCs, sulfur, etc.) into the atmosphere. Gas methane (CH4) has a greenhouse effect 21 times greater than CO2, which is 14% to 25% of that emitted by organic waste. Clean Development Mechanisms (Clean Development Mechanism - CDM) is one of the mechanisms that update the Kyoto Protocol in Bali through the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), and the last Conference Copenhagen, in order to tackle global warming. Through the CDM is a developing country could make carbon emission reduction programs that have (Certified Emission Reduction - CER) monetary value and can be traded.
