Gas that is generated by decomposition of organic material at landfill disposal sites. The average composition of landfill gas is approximately 50 percent methane and 50 percent carbon dioxide and water vapor by volume. The methane percentage, however, can vary from 40 to 60 percent, depending on several factors including waste composition (e.g. carbohydrate and cellulose content). The methane in landfill gas may be vented, flared, combusted to generate electricity or useful thermal energy on-site, or injected into a pipeline for combustion off-site. electricity can be produced from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) using either a Refuse-Derived-Fuel (RDF) technology or Landfill Gas (LFG) technology
Concept of setting up a power station to run on the methane gas extracted from a landfill. Methane gas is produced over a process of years from a landfill and enables to profit from available energy whilst preserving the environment
Landfall work requires connecting the incoming pipeline from offshore to the onshore pipeline.
Two methods are available: (i) Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) which involves drilling a hole through the landfall and, (ii) Cofferdam construction with dredging and sheet pile works.
