“…1 MW of electricity can be produced from approximately 500 m 3 /h of LFG with 50% methane content [11]. Brazil produces 69 MW of power through the utilization of LFG, although it has been estimated that the country has the potential for about 660 MW of electrical power from landfills [12].…”

“…Energy obtained by incineration of MSW provides an economical benefit of 0.04 $ per KWh for a 15-year period [22]. Although remarkable energy generation can be obtained by utilization of LFG gases [12], incineration technology yields more economical benefits compared to the landfilling option considering the amount of the generated energy [23]. Due to advantages of energy supply and waste volume reduction, incineration is widely suggested for future applications.…”

“…In fact, in 2014, 69 MW were produced from biogas recovered from landfills in São Paulo (11,244,369 inhabitants), Belo Horizonte (2,375,444), Salvador (2,676,606) and Uberlândia (619,536) [31]. Some studies have evaluated the electricity generation potential of landfill biogas [32]- [36].…”

This study estimates the electric energy production potential from municipal solid waste in Colombia. The Colombian municipalities of Pasto (Department of Nariño), Andes (Antioquia) and Guayatá (Boyacá) were selected as representative populations of the national context because of their socioeconomic and demographic features, as well as the public availability of their waste management plans. The technical characteristics of two conversion technologies were analyzed: incineration (thermal conversion) and anaerobic digestion (biological conversion). From a technical point of view, the results showed that anaerobic digestion is feasible in all three scenarios, while incineration is viable in Pasto and Andes.

ResumoOs resíduos sólidos estão relacionados a doenças e à poluição ambiental, a necessidade de maior conhecimento da composição desses resíduos e da melhor maneira para a disposição final destes resíduos. A importância do saneamento ambiental pode ser observada na PNRS (Politica Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos), que descreve a necessidade de limpeza urbana e coleta seletiva, a partir da implantação de metas para melhor destinação destes resíduos. Com a finalidade de uma visão geral dos resíduos sólidos produzidos na cidade de Cruzeiro [SP], realizou-se uma projeção e análise da construção de um aterro sanitário para o acondicionamento destes resíduos, iniciando-se pelo ano de 2013, por um período de 20 anos. A falta de lugares para acondicionamento de resíduos resulta em contaminação de lençóis freáticos e solos. Com o auxilio do software "WARM", fez-se a análise de três cenários, com a reciclagem de materiais e utilização para compostagem, sendo os cenários 2 e 3 com o aproveitamento do gás para geração de energia. Após a construção destes cenários foi feita a análise econômica destes cenários. A partir da análise econômica foi possível estabelecer o melhor cenário a ser adotado para a cidade de Cruzeiro [SP].

Power production feasibility analysis from landKill gas in Cruzeiro [SP, Brazil]:three different scenarios AbstractSolid wastes are related to diseases and environmental pollution, the need for greater knowledge of the waste composition and the best final disposal from this waste. The importance of the environmental sanitation can be observed in PNRS (national solid waste politics), which describes the need for urban cleaning and garbage collection, from the implementation of goals for better allocation of this waste. For the purpose of an overview of the solid waste produced in the city of Cruzeiro [State of Sao Paulo, Brazil], a projection and analysis of the construction of a landfill for the packaging of this waste, beginning by the year 2013, for a period of 20 years. The lack of places for waste packaging results in contamination of groundwater and soils. With the help of the software "WARM", the analysis of three scenarios, with material recycling and composting, and use the 2 and 3 scenarios with the use of gas.
