-firs part – closed (1989), re-cultivated<br />

-second part - closed (Oct. 2005),<br />

under re-cultivation<br />

•Waste quantity:<br />

- first part – 500 000 t<br />

- second part – 2 500 000 t<br />

• Methane emissions – 5 000 t/y or 105 000 tCO2e/y

Sofia Landfill - conclusions<br />

• The world practice shows that it may be profitable <strong>to</strong><br />

construct a utilization system<br />

• It is possible <strong>to</strong> install generating sets with <strong>to</strong>tal power 500<br />

kWel for <strong>the</strong> І part and 2000 kW for <strong>the</strong> second ( 4-5 sets)<br />

• In case of energy price $0.03/kWh <strong>the</strong> simple payback<br />

period is 15 years, and in case of $0.06 /kWh – 5 years<br />

• JI mechanism makes this project more attractive<br />

• There are also o<strong>the</strong>r big landfills in Bulgaria that could be<br />

involved in <strong>the</strong> emission trading schemes<br />
