Waste to Energy and Landfill Gas Recovery Projects

With landfills near capacity around major South African metros, municipalities and private operators are exploring waste to energy and gas recovery to cut methane and generate power. This course examines the technologies, feedstock realities and permitting steps involved in turning waste streams into usable energy. Delegates assess project viability using local waste volumes, offtake options and regulatory constraints.

What you will be able to do

  • Compare waste to energy technologies including combustion, digestion and gasification.
  • Assess feedstock quality and volume from municipal and industrial waste streams.
  • Estimate energy and gas recovery potential from a landfill or waste site.
  • Outline the permitting and environmental steps for a recovery project.
  • Evaluate offtake and revenue options including power and carbon credits.
  • Screen a proposed project for technical and financial viability.
