In particular, it highlighted the measures implemented by the Municipality of Belo Horizonte in the framework of the city\u2019s Plan to Reduce GHG Emissions by 20% by 2030.<br \/>\nThe BH Seal for Sustainability is an example of success, consisting in a certification awarded by the Municipality to companies adopting sustainable procedures.<br \/>\nAnother case in point is Asja\u2019s biogas-to-energy plant in the municipal landfill. It not only produces electricity, but also prevents gases from leaking out of the landfill. For this reason it was awarded the Gold BH Seal for Sustainability. <strong>The positive impact of the project on the territory has been recognized internationally and the certified emission reduction units that generates have been certified by the Gold Standard system.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cbn.globoradio.globo.com\/comentaristas\/cidades-sustentaveis\/2016\/11\/07\/BH-DA-OTIMO-EXEMPLO-NO-PAPEL-DAS-CIDADES-NA-EFICIENCIA-ENERGETICA-DO-PAIS.htm\" target=\"_blank\">&gt; &gt; Listen to the radio program<\/a> (in Portuguese).<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has the landfill biogas-to-energy plant built by Asja in Belo Horizonte changed the life of local people?<\/strong> See the video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Os5pAw24lBk?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26.11.2016 Asja\u2019s biogas-to-energy plant in Belo Horizonte is leading the city\u2019s efforts&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[39,10166],"tags":[10063,10063,10156,10087,10093,10104,10104,10001,10149,10149],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4605"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4605"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4605\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4715,"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4605\/revisions\/4715"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asja.energy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
