Evaluation of theoretical models to estimate landfill gas(LFG) potential as a renewable energy source: a case study of Chunga landfill
… model. The study revealed that installation of a microturbine operating as a bioreactor landfill provides an estimated average annual energy of 19.2 million kWh capable of powering at least 3500 residential houses with a consumption band between 100-300 kWh per month. The model estimated a capital …
