Description
Alexandria landfill site in El Hammam operated by Onyx since 2003 has been used as an Egyptian landfill case study. Methane generation rates have been estimated using three different simulation models namely: LandGEM, E-PLUS, and the 2006 IPCC Waste Model. The models were run using actual waste quantities disposed at this site together with projected waste quantities till the closure of the landfill site. Power consumption becomes economically feasible only if electricity price is increased locally. (paper)
