GOOD PRACTICES IN CITY ENERGY EFFICIENCY - Tianjin, China - Landfill Gas Capture for Electricity Generation

Title of Document	GOOD PRACTICES IN CITY ENERGY EFFICIENCY - Tianjin, China - Landfill Gas Capture for Electricity Generation
Abstract	The city of Tianjin, the fifth largest city in China, has implemented a project to recover landfill gas (LFG), which was otherwise being released into the atmosphere, and burn pretreated LFG for electricity generation. The project was located at the Shuangkuo Landfill, one of five municipal waste landfills in Tianjin. The planned capacity of the project is 4.3 MW which is being installed in stages. The first generator, 1.03 MW, started operation in May 2008, currently utilizing 500-600 cubic meters of landfill gas. The electricity produced is being sold to the North China Power Grid under a long-term contract. Through the project, the city was able to use waste to generate revenues and gain local environmental benefits.

Since our funding is running out, we depend on donations to run energypedia next year. Energypedia pages are checked by over 60,000 people each month. If everyone reading this gave a small amount (as little as 1€), we could keep energypedia open and free for years to come. The price of a coffee is all we need. Thank you!	Why donate?
