Installation of gas engine for oxygen-enriched combustion

Within the LoCaGas project, Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI) in collaboration with UAB Addeco is working on oxygen-enriched combustion of landfill gas with low methane content for green power production.

The testing will be done with a 30 kWel genset from TEDOM.

The genset, gas engine and generator, was received at the end of April, unpacked and moved to the lab and pilot testing container.

The first tests with model gas at LEI will commence shortly. Later on the container will be moved to a landfill and tested with real landfill gas.

WP4 and WP5 development

On the 7th of August, Jörgen Held, BEIC visited Abdallah Nassour and co-workers at Fakultät für Agrar, Bau und Umwelt at University of Rostock.

The visit started with a nice, informative and valuable tour in the laboratory, guided by Cinthya Lara, Abdallah Nassour and Ibrahim Rahmouni.

Later on the development of an LCA tool and the techno-economic analysis (TEA) within WP4 were discussed in detail. The discussion also covered how the results from the LCA tool and the TEA will be integrated with recommendations for landfill gas operators and result in the development of a decision support tool (WP5).
