Landfill Gas Utilisation

As Project Manager, during 1997-2005, Stephen was responsible for a phased programme of delivery, installation, and commissioning of 12 landfill gas engines across 5 sites, including associated infrastructure. Private power connections and systems reinforcement was necessary to connect these facilities to the national grid.

Landfill

SUMMARY

Viridor became pioneers in the capture and utilisation of landfill gas for power generation using spark ignition gas engine generator sets to burn the methane rich gas. These fed dedicated locally embedded power export connections. The investments were supported by various government incentives brought about by the Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation. Viridor’s portfolio of landfill gas utilisation engine generators grew to an installed capacity of 107MW.
