“…Higher energy demand and environmental degradation due to the use of fossil fuels were motives to explore new sources of renewable energy and consequently to minimize adverse impacts on environmental resources, human health and sustainability. Previous studies have investigated the recovery of energy from landfill sites to generate electricity (Abushammala et al, 2016;Cakir et al, 2016;Rodrigue et al, 2018).…”

Sustainable solid waste management can provide pathways for renewable energy generation. The Kingdom of Bahrain has witnessed burgeoning municipal solid waste (MSW) generation rate due to socio-economic development. The authorities of this Small Island Developing State, which is located in arid environment, plan to produce 5% of the total electricity demand from renewable energy sources by 2025 and then double it to 10% by 2035. The US Environmental Protection Agency’s Landfill Gas Emission Model software was used to estimate the generation of biogas from MSW at the Askar Landfill site. Results envisaged that maximum landfill gas (LFG) emission rates will be in 2020 following landfill closure by the end of 2019, as an intentional scenario, with a maximum electricity generation potential of 57.4 GWh that could provide power to 488 households. Revenues from carbon credits and electricity sales were US$97.8 million and US$64.8 million, respectively, for the period 2020–2035. The internal combustion engine exhibited the most viable option based on economic analysis of the cost of alternative LFG energy recovery technologies. Our work highlights the potential to use LFG-to-energy technologies to reduce the carbon footprint in arid climates for developing countries with substantial electricity subsidization.

“…Based on these considerations, the mathematical model, Landfill Gas Emission Model version 3.03 of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), was selected. Likewise, the model is limited to calculate the amount of gases up to 2144, where the concentration will depend on the amount of organic waste disposed of in the landfill and the climatic conditions [16,[25][26][27]. Finally, the amount of electricity generated from the total biogas and the number of houses that would be supplied with the amount of electricity produced will be estimated, considering the use of cogeneration by means of internal combustion engines, as illustrated in Figure 2, which describes the methodology used to estimate biogas and electricity production [5,25,28].…”

The landfill is a final disposal technique to confine municipal solid waste (MSW), where organic matter is degraded generating leachate and biogas composed of methane gases (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and other gases that contribute to global warming. The objective of the current research was to estimate the amount of biogas generated through the LandGEM 3.03 mathematical model to determine the amount of electrical energy generated and the number of homes that would be supplied with electrical energy from 2021 to 2144. As a result of the application, it was estimated that in the Pichacay landfill, the highest point of biogas generation in 2053 would be 76,982,177 (m3/year) that would generate 81,226,339.36 (kWh/year), and would supply 5083 homes with electricity. Similarly, in the Las Iguanas landfill, the highest point would be 693,975,228 (m3/year) of biogas that produces 73,223,5296.7 (kWh/year) and would supply electricity to 45,825 homes. Of the performed gas analyses in the Pichacay landfill in 2020, an average of 51.49% CH4, 40.35% CO2, 1.75% O2 and 17.8% H2S was presented, while in the Las Iguanas landfill, for 2020 and 2021, we obtained an average of 51.88/CH4, 36.62% CO2, 1.01% O2 and 187.58 ppm H2S. Finally, the biogas generated by being harnessed minimizes the impacts related to global warming and climate change and would contribute electricity to the nearby communities.

“…LandGEM is one of the most commonly used and most flexible models (Sadeghi, et al, 2015). The model is presented to estimate annual emissions over a time period based on user specification (Kalantarifard, et al, 2012;Rodrigue, et al, 2018). The model contains two sets of default parameters, CAA defaults and inventory defaults.…”

This paper deals with the estimation of methane emissions from the Mirash municipal solid waste sanitary landfill. The methane emission was calculated according to two different methodologies, namely, IPCC 2006 and Land-GEM. Within the framework of the research, the following parameters were evaluated: the amount of landfilled waste, landfill characteristics, and composition of landfilled waste as well as the climate conditions prevailing in the region. According to the IPCC methodology, the total amount of methane emitted from the Mirash landfill during the period 2006-2017 was 30.57 Giga grams (Gg), while according to the LandGEM methodology, the total amount of methane emitted from the Mirash landfill in the period 2006-2017 was 26.32 Giga grams (Gg). The total mass of CH 4 in the Mirash regional landfill for the years 2018-2025 is projected to be 53.74 Gg according to the IPCC method, while according to LandGEM method, the projection points to 50.74 Gg. This study was carried out for the sanitary landfill for solid waste management in Mirash, Prishtina Region, in the Republic of Kosovo, during the year of 2018.
