Recovering energy from biogas emission: the case of Mariana Mantovana landfill (Italy)

Bertolini, Massimo; Bevilacqua, Maurizio - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 28 (2007) 2/3, pp. 195-214

This paper deals with the analytic rating of the economic investment in an energy recovery plant for municipal waste, in relation to the estimate of its capability to exploit biogas production transformation, and sale of electricity production, and the Green Certificates. The approach entails...

Specific applications of bio/landfill gas produced from waste organic material

Hessami, M. Akbar - In: Renewable Energy 5 (1994) 5, pp. 832-834

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...

From a Literature Review to an Alternative Treatment System for Landfill Gas and Leachate

Zhao, Rui; Huang, Tao; McGuire, Michael - In: Challenges 3 (2012) 2, pp. 278-289

This paper provides an alternative treatment system for landfill gas and leachate control in order to reduce the energy consumption and disposal cost, using the recycled landfill gas as the combustion promoter for incineration of the leachate. This study starts by providing a literature review...

Economic feasibility of hydrogen enrichment for reducing NOx emissions from landfill gas power generation alternatives: A comparison of the levelized cost of electricity with prese...

Kornbluth, Kurt; Greenwood, Jason; Jordan, Eddie; … - In: Energy Policy 41 (2012) C, pp. 333-339

Based on recent research showing that hydrogen enrichment can lower NOx emissions from landfill gas combustion below future NOx emission control standards imposed by both federal and California state regulations, an investigation was performed to compare the levelized cost of electricity of this...

Waste heat recovery from a landfill gas-fired power plant

Gewald, Daniela; Siokos, Konstantinos; Karellas, Sotirios; … - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 16 (2012) 4, pp. 1779-1789

Waste treatment and management is a certain challenge especially in areas with high population density. One of the options for waste treatment is landfilling, where the amount of municipal waste also produces landfill gas through anaerobic digestion. The heating value of the landfill gas is high...

Comparative study on EGR and lean burn strategies employed in an SI engine fueled by low calorific gas

Lee, Sunyoup; Park, Seunghyun; Kim, Changgi; Kim, Young-Min - In: Applied Energy 129 (2014) C, pp. 10-16

In this study, a naturally aspirated spark ignition engine fueled by low calorific gas (LCG) was tested in both exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and lean burn modes, and the effects of these modes on engine performance and combustion and emission characteristics were evaluated and compared. The...

PTC, ITC, or Cash Grant? An Analysis of the Choice Facing Renewable Power Projects in the United States

Bolinger, Mark; Wiser, Ryan; Cory, Karlynn; James, Ted - 2009

Renewable power technologies are inherently capital-intensive, often (but not always) with relatively high construction costs and low operating costs. For this reason, renewable power technologies are typically more sensitive to the availability and cost of financing than are natural gas power...
