New Perspective -“Lowest Cost” Energy From
Vast Biomass 35, Landfill Gas
• -->> cont; •3 MAINLY WASTE:
• ✔ 3i Landfill Gas(LFG): 50%+ of LFG is recoverable methane, generated by
oxygenless anaerobic decomposi@on of buried organic waste. Although energy
produc@on is negligible as a whole macro scale(eg UK deemed 6TWh/yr level,
0.2% of en@re power needs), if consider toxic gas removal process as cost, then
LFG becomes significant "free" energy in local landfill area. Also at some loca@ons
it becomes lowest cost energy as is. Methane carbon footprint reduc@on has
various incen@ves & benefits.
• UK, US, Canada leads in energy recovery from Landfill Gas:(Cambrian Energy,
Viridor, DTE Biomass, CLP Envirogas, Infinis, Republic Services, LFG Technologies,
Biffa, Progressive Waste, Ener-G+). At those most advanced na@ons, it is deemed
overall 15-50% of methane gas is recovered for power genera@on: eg UK is does
recovery at 80% of landfill sites as flared or power/heat produc@on, with 50-70%
of that is actually used for power genera@on combus@on, Con@nental Europe &
Australia is ac@ve(Green Gas InternaGonal BV, Landfill Gas Industries+) -->>
