2. From waste to energy
Landfill gas (LFG) is created
during decomposition of
organic substances and
consists methane (CH4),
carbon dioxide (CO2), and
nitrogen (N2).
EU defines LFG as a
renewable energy source.
CH4 has a global warming
potential which is 22 times
higher than CO2
LFG is a high value fuel
(5kW/Nm3) and can be used
for energy generation.
3. Gas Extraction Wells
Hot water for District
Heating
Gas Engine Generator
Gas Treatment & Metering
Power to grid
Seepage water collection
Seepage Water Treatment
From waste to energy
Landfill
Gas Extraction Wells
Perforated tubes are drilled
into the landfill body and
interconnected by a pipe
work system
Utilizing a blower, the gas is
sucked from the landfill,
compressed, dried,
cleaned and fed into a gas
engine.
For safety reasons, the
installation of a gas
flare is recommended
so that excess gas
can be burned off in
the event of
excessive gas
production.
In most cases all the
electrical power generated
is fed into public grid.
4. LFG - Market potential
Over 1 million landfills globally
Representing 50 billion tons of CO2 eq/year
10.000 landfills (1%) with large
LFG amount (+2500 m3/h)
Over 210 TWh electric power, and
250 TWh thermal energy
(Norway’s total energy consumption = 120 TWh/year)
6. Identified opportunities
Sharra Landfill, Tirana
• Electric power for 8000 homes
• High electricity prices (3-4 times Norway)
Capacity: 7,62 MW
• 50 GWh el / Year, 1 TWh / project period
• 55 GWh heated water /year available
Investment budget
• € 8.5 million
• 50 % ”leasable”
7. Why Albania ?
Among the highest electricity prices in Europe!
Growing demand for electricity
Very low local power production => Power deficit
Public partners
Very profitable project => Business!
Low risk: Technological, sector-, partnerwize.
Political: Adapting EU regulations and sending EU application
8. Albanian Power Deficit
High growing consumption of eclectric energy (raising demands)
Limitations of local production of electricity
Limitations of capacity in the grid
Several black outs in the electric grid every year (summer & wintertime)
Dependence of imported electric energy (primarily Italy)
High Energy prices for imported energy
2008 average: EURO 80.84 / MWH (Approx. 0,70 NOK/kWh)
Incentives to investors
High energy prices and long term contracts
By law, elctric pricing contracts are given with former years average
price + 10%.
