Landfill gas
Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2009 2:12 am
I recently worked on a landfill site where 1000 cubic metres of gas
containing 35%, or so, of methane was burned continuously.
I suggested that this heat be used to drive a Stirling engine
generating electricity, which could be sold to the National Grid or
used on site, but the idea was dismissed as impractical.
Is it impractical?
