The study considers the “renovation” (as defined by Italian legislation) of an electricitygenerating
plant using biogas produced in a managed landfill as the primary energy
source. The landfill, located in the Marche region (central Italy), receives about 100 kt y1 of
urban and industrial residues. The plant is endowed with two 470 kW (e) internal
combustion engines and has been in operation since 1998. At the end of its lifecycle it is
scheduled for decommissioning. Public incentives for energy production from renewable
sources, which the plant enjoyed in the first eight years of activity, have also expired. The
study examines the main legal, technical and economic options available to the landfill
management, in particular considering the new Italian and EU incentives for energy
generation from renewable sources.
Five configurations are considered for the replacement of the existing engines, three at
the original site (a single combustion engine with/without incentives, and a plant with
microturbines), and two involving the construction of new plants at a separate site
(a cogeneration plant with a combustion engine and one with microturbines).
The study provides data that may be a useful basis for other similar cases and for
simulations.
