Utilization of landfill gas from municipal solid waste by co-combustion with hydrogen

Abstract

Currently, the problem of utilization of landfill gas (LFG) released in landfills and municipal solid waste landfills is becoming increasingly urgent. This is due to environmental pollution and, as a consequence, the level of increase in the incidence of the population. The article provides an overview of currently existing methods of landfill gas utilization. The authors of the present article have conducted research on the utilization of landfill gas from a municipal solid waste landfill by cocombustion with hydrogen. Some experimental data were obtained on the influence of various factors on the stable combustion of a gas mixture. The advantage of the proposed method are discussed, including its potential to reduce air pollution by greenhouse gas, as well as the creation of additional energy sources, and effective utilization of LFG from municipal solid waste landfills.
