REGENERATION OF METHANE EMITTED FROM LANDFILLS, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF IT UTILIZATION IN THE DNEPROPETROVSK REGION

Abstract

This paper describes the experience of solid waste
use (MSW) as a source of high-energy gas, which
may find application in various branches of industry.
Landfill gas can be efficiently used in the manufacture of automotive fuel, electricity and heat, depending on the location of landfills with respect to
the economic infrastructure. Methane utilization
will solve the problem of improving the ecological
safety of landfills for the environment.
Analysis, development and grounding technological solutions are possible considering the total
amount of methane determination emitted from
landfills, and the feasibility of its production costs,
that allows further project development on direct
use of landfill gas.
Practical suggestions on selection and grounding
the directions of application the methane, emitted
from landfills, and technological schemes of utilization can be used and will provide social and economic effect in the conditions of Dnepropetrovsk
region.
