SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS OF BIO LANDFILL GAS PRODUCED FROM WASTE ORGANICMATERIAL/

This paper describes three electricity and/or heat generation applicat ions fuelled by biogas or landfill gas produced from organic waste mat erial. It shows that aerobic and/or anaerobic treatment of the waste h as many environmental and economical benefits especially now that poll ution is a major international problem, and that energy cost is escala ting not only because of the increased energy demands but also the rea lisation that the fossil-fuel-based sources of energy are limited and ''unfriendly'' to the environment. It is noted that cogeneration is cu rrently the most suitable energy management strategy for applications requiring both heat and power simultaneously.
