(jointly with Renewable Energy Agency (REA))
Objective: to perform an assessment of the Landfill site and amount of LFG available and the options for the LFG utilization at Rivne MSW Landfill.
Project description:
Evaluation of the LFG quality and availability at the Rivne landfill through a pump test based on three-wells limited collection system and open flare; evaluation of the technical and economical options for the implementing of full-scale LFG recovery system; evaluation of the available LFG utilization options, including flaring, electricity generation and direct LFG use.
Project activities:
- Pump test proposal, design and implementation, measurement results analysis;
- Development of Landfill Gas model, feasibility study;
- LFG Collection System Design;
- Flare installation
Place of implementation: Rivne MSW Landfill, Ukraine
Project financing: Environmental Protection Agency, United States of America (US EPA); Methane to Markets Partnership (M2M))
