Abstract
This paper presents an economic feasibility analysis for power generation from the energetic use of biogas produced in a landfill. Quantifications were made for the methane generated in the landfill, the electric power generation potential, and carbon credits. A cost analysis study and an economic feasibility analysis were conducted for the proposed system, taking two possible scenarios into consideration: with and without selling carbon credits. This paper shows the importance of including carbon credits in economic feasibility studies conducted in landfill projects, as such credits constitute an important source of income for such projects to become more feasible.
