Specific applications of bio/landfill gas produced from waste organic material
This paper describes three electricity and/or heat generation applications fuelled by biogas or landfill gas produced from organic waste material. It shows that aerobic and/or anaerobic treatment of the waste has many environmental and economical benefits especially now that pollution is a major international problem, and that energy cost is escalating not only because of the increased energy demands but also the realisation that the fossil-fuel-based sources of energy are limited and “unfriendly” to the environment. It is noted that cogeneration is currently the most suitable energy management strategy for applications requiring both heat and power simultaneously.
