Abstract

We investigated the possible effects of a waste power generation plant and gas recovery from a landfill at Naranjin Enger Disposal Site (NEDS) in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The household waste generation rate, waste composition, and treatment ratio in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from 2005 to 2015 were investigated using field survey data and a documentary survey. Field survey research investigating landfill structure, amount of disposed waste, and characteristics of landfill gas (LFG) concentration including CH₄, CO₂, O₂, H₂S, and N₂ was then conducted, and the amount of LFG generated from 2022 to 2041 was predicted using a first order decay model. The results indicated that a landfill power generation plant at NEDS in Ulaanbaatar could be operated by minimum 2.7 MW, and 24.1% of the Green House Gas (GHG) reduction in the waste department of Mongolia was expected to be achieved in 2030.
