Malaysia - SETatWork - Sustainable Energy Technology at Work

The project estimate the GHG reduction is approximately 57,830
tCO2-equivalent yearly from the following project activities:
• Destruction of methane by collecting landfill gas formed inside
the accumulated waste in the landfill site; and
• Reduction of carbon dioxide by emission replacing electricity
from fossil fuel consumption to renewable energy.
The collected LFG will be treated and used for power generation.
The electricity will be sold to the local utility under the Small
Renewable Energy Programme (SREP).

Aim:
The project is to ensure safe closure of the landfill site by
eliminating the emission of landfill gas.
Operation time: 10
Feasibility
The economic attractiveness of the project alternative without
Study:
the revenue from carbon credits using an IRR calculation was
analyzed and the results were compared with a reasonable
expected return on investment in Malaysia. The results show that
the project is not an economically attractive course of action.
5.3.3 Technical details:
Technical
details:
The project will involve a LFG facility which consists of the
following:
• LFG Recovery System. The landfill site of the project will be
covered with density soil of thickness more than 0.5 m. The
LFG is collected through gas recovery wells located at the
landfill area and conveyed to LFG treatment system and power
generation system by LFG collection pipelines.
• LFG Treatment System. A gas dryer will be installed to reduce
moisture content of the gas suitable to gas engine combustion.
• LFG Power Generation System. The voltage of the generated
electricity is stepped up from 380V to 11kV at the project site
and transferred to the local utility sub-station.
• Flare Combustion Facility. The excessive LFG will be flared.
