The proposed Project includes capturing LFG and combusting it in the flare. As an optional later phase, LFG may be utilized for electricity (and possibly heat) production.
The estimated capacity of LFG power engines which can be commissioned is 1.2 MW for the Yalta landfill and 0.6 MW for the Alushta landfill. The decision to invest in LFG to Energy (“LFGTE”) modules will be made on the basis of an economic review, possibility to connect to the public grid, and whether a Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) can be obtained.
