The project consists of capturing, burning and generating electricity through the use of landfill gas (LFG) produced under anaerobic conditions in the landfill called “Central de Tratamento de Resíduos Macaubas” (CTR Macaubas). It has generators that burn LFG to produce electricity, using part of the electricity for self-consumption and the other part exported to the grid. The LFG power plant has a generation capacity of up to 10 MW upon completion of the project. The LFG capture and collection systems and the flare station consist of a network of LFG pipelines and a flare station, equipped with flares, centrifugal blowers and all other supporting mechanical and electrical subsystems and accessories necessary to operate the system. To ensure efficient LFG capture and maximum quality, compaction and sanitary coverage of waste are carried out daily, as well as the connection of vertical drains. The project is registered under the United Nations (UNFCCC)
