Feasibility analyses of WtE in Malaysia have been explored by
local researchers over the past decade. Johari et al. (2012) have
conducted a study of the economic and environmental benefits
of LFG, using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) methodology to estimate the CH4 generated by the disposal
landfill. They have concluded that approximately 310,220 t CH4/y
could be generated from MSW in Malaysia, and approximately
1.9 billion kW h of electricity could be generated from these
sources [8]. Another similar study by Noor et al. (2013) has estimated
the projection of CH4 emissions from 2015 to 2020 using
IPCC methodology, also proving that LFG could be a promising
energy source that would fulfil approximately 1.5% of Malaysia’s
energy requirement [10]. Moreover, Kalantarifard and Goh (2011)
have presented a real case study of the feasibility of landfill gas
use at the Tanjung Langsat landfill in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
