This study entitled, Landfill gas
capture opportunity in Sub-Saharan Africa, analyzes urban
waste in both quantitative and qualitative terms in selected
Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries to find out if available
methane from municipal waste could be used as a
supplementary energy source and evaluate whether potential
waste-to-energy (WTE) project candidates meet a certain
level of cost effectiveness, which is valuable to investors.
The study focuses on municipal solid waste (MSW) rather than
municipal liquid waste (MLW) because, in most SSA countries,
MSW represents a far larger potential for energy production
than the digestion of liquid waste streams. The study
addresses a number of pertinent questions: a) is there any
opportunity for landfill gas (LFG) capture and use in SSA?
b) can the methane generated from landfill be used as a
sustainable source of energy? c) what are the two most
promising cities in SSA for LFG capture? d) what is the
potential of methane that can be generated? and finally, e)
what are the financial indicators for an LFG capture and use
project in the two selected cities in SSA? |
