Description
An October 2001 Manitoba Hydro study identified the Brady Landfill as the City of Winnipeg site with the greatest potential for gas production, including the lowest costs for flaring, electrical generation and fuel production. This feasibility study flows from that outcome and includes the following components: field testing and analysis to determine landfill gas (LFG) quality and production rates; economic analysis of potential options, such as, flaring, electrical generation, heating or co-generation, from the perspectives of greenhouse gas financial credits and energy pricing; examination of the impacts of a LFG recovery/utilization project on the City of Winnipeg’s existing and future landfill operations; development and assessment of business/financial models to implement option(s) found to be technically and economically viable; and public consultation.
