Abstract

 Estimation of the LANDFILL GAS (LFG) and electricity potential is one of the significant aspects of an integrated landfill development. In view of this, geological surveys were undertaken in all the government operated landfills in LAGOS to appraise ground conditions for the exploitation of the anaerobically generated LFG. Thereafter, attempts were made to estimate the electricity potentials based on various equations and models. The geology of the landfill areas is essentially that of the Oligocene to Pleistocene Coastal Plain Sands except for that of Epe landfill area which is of Recent Deposits. The lithologies of the landfills in the Coastal Plain Sands areas seem suitable for LANDFILL GAS capture upon capping. Using stoichiometry, an achievable ELECTRICAL POWER of 123.75 MW was deduced. By juxtaposition with an established Malaysian scenario, the yearly electrical energy was placed at 646,663.2 MWh with a tariff revenue in excess of US$64.68 million/year. Furthermore, an accruing carbon credit of about US$31.73 million/year is expected from certified emission reduction (CER) under the Kyoto Protocol. However, estimations by comparison with gas capturing sites across the globe yielded a mean of 38.35 MW. This is about 30 % of the theoretical and is capable of providing electricity to over 230,000 inhabitants.Hinged on actuality, this latter evaluation may aid to eradicate spurious estimations for practical purposes, and is critical in terms of global LFG capture economics. The concomitant benefits of LFG exploitation are expected to be exponentially higher in terms of reduction of greenhouse gases and mitigation of environmental hazards.
