Solid Waste Management and Landfill Gas Recovery
Summary
To harness methane for electricity production that otherwise would have been emitted to the atmosphere, as well as to assist the management of solid waste around Riga, the project will remediate the existing Getlini landfill in Riga, install an advanced energy-cell technology for enhanced degradation of biodegradable waste, and collect landfill gas and use it for power generation. In addition, the project will establish a sorting line for separation of recyclable materials, and provide technical assistance for the overall system.
