Emission assessment at the Burj Hammoud inactive municipal landfill: Viability of landfill gas recovery under the clean development mechanism

Study on optimization model of energy collection efficiency and its power generation benefit evaluation of landfill gas

“…19,20 Among them, the efficiency of electric power transmission includes electricity price and state subsidies, which valued 0.08 $/kWh and 0.049 $/kWh, respectively, according to the uniform electricity price standard (sale price) of Hubei Province, which was 0.13 $/kWh. The efficiency of CDM emission reduction comes from the EU carbon trading market.…”

Economic viability of LFG recovery under the CDM mechanism

“…Control measures implemented at the site have been limited to the deployment of a soil cover along with drilling of several penetrating gas vents. Source: El-Fadel et al [9] potential of 19.8 to102.6 m 3 /ton of waste (El-Fadel et al [9]. Uncertainty factors (UF) of 3 and 5 were introduced to simulate the case whereby actual LFG production is respectively three and five times higher than that measured in the field due to potential errors in the applied chamber measurement technique.…”

“…Below this threshold, investments' feasibility depends on the ability of the developer to accurately estimate landfill emissions, with the magnitude of emissions being closely related to waste quantity and composition (El-Fadel et al [9]). …”

Techno-economic and environmental assessment of methane oxidation layer measures through small-scale clean development mechanism – The case of the Seychelles

“…Thus, Bufoni et al (2015) analysed the financial attractiveness of 431 large waste management projects around the world concluding that LFG is the most implemented solution but with serious doubts about its economic efficiency. El-Fadel et al (2012) analysed the economic viability of several LFG recovery and power generation schemes in Lebanon concluding that the viability of these kind of projects in developing countries is doubtful. In the same line, Couth et al, (2011) assessed the viability of LFG to electricity CDM projects in Africa and concluded that small to medium sized LFG CDM projects are not viable in Africa unless either there is a renewable energy feed-in-tariff or flared is used instead of power generation.…”
