A study of an integrated land-fill and coppice power station

Renewable Energy, 1996, vol. 9, issue 1, 989-992

Abstract: The use of methane from controlled landfill sites is well established as a method of generating usable energy from waste. However, the economics of this method are prejudiced by factors such as the restricted lifetime of the site and the initial capital costs in setting up the generating plant and the grid connection. Here we consider the benefits anticipated as a result of integrating wood fuels into the system and show that as well as the obvious shared capital costs and increased security of supply there is an increase in overall power output.
