Landfill gas collection and electricity generation system to Zambia

landfill gas collection electricity generation system zambia

Doranova designed, delivered and installed the landfill gas collection and utilization system to Kitwe, Zambia. The project delivery included Doranova’s “low-cost” gas wells and lines, landfill surface shaping and covering solutions as well as combined gas pumping station with CHP-equipment.

The project was partly financed by “The Energy and Environment Partnership Africa” (EEP Africa) and its aim was to demonstrate that also the methane emissions from poorly-maintained small landfills can be reduced markedly while simultaneously producing renewable electricity to local needs.

Project information:

  • City of Kitwe as a customer (~0,5 million inhabitants)
  • Previous open mine utilized as a uncontrolled landfill
  • Area size of 10 ha, depth of 2-10 meters
  • Organic content of the waste 45-50 %
