ENERGY PRODUCTION FROM MUNICIPAL LANDFILL EMISSIONS
ACRONYM: VALENDEM
COORDINATING PROJECT:NATIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE FOR INDUSTRIAL ECOLOGY
The members of the consortium:
P1 – “POLITEHNICA UNIVERSITY OF BUCHAREST, Faculty of Energy;
P2 – TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF CLUJ NAPOCA, Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering, Department of Environmental Engineering
GENERAL OBJECTIVE: “Identify and establish techniques to exploit a municipal landfill emissions leading to the development of knowledge in the field, to solve complex problems and create mechanisms for implementing specific integrated waste management”
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
– Study of the situation at national level of the energy potential of municipal landfills in the context of the alignment to European waste management policy;
– Design, construction and testing of functional models for capture and characterization of landfill gas;
– Establishment to the ways of recovering energy from gaseous emissions.
INDICATORS OF RESULTS:
1) Study of national interest: “At the national level prognosis for energy recovery of gaseous emissions during the life cycle of municipal landfills”;
2) Study of local interest: “Induced environmental impact of emissions from municipal landfill ClujNapoca”;
3) An scientific papers published in a journal indexed in IDB and 2 papers presented at international conferences.
EQUIPMENT USED: Portable Gas AnalyzerGA 2000 Plus.
POSIBILITIES FOR PROJECTS OUTPUTS:
– Carrying out investigations to determine the composition of gaseous emissions from various municipal landfills (comply or did not comply);
– Induced environmental impact assessment of emissions from municipal landfills.
