dc.description.abstractThis study entitled, Landfill gas capture opportunity in Sub-Saharan Africa, analyzes urban waste in both quantitative and qualitative terms in selected Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries to find out if available methane from municipal waste could be used as a supplementary energy source and evaluate whether potential waste-to-energy (WTE) project candidates meet a certain level of cost effectiveness, which is valuable to investors. The study focuses on municipal solid waste (MSW) rather than municipal liquid waste (MLW) because, in most SSA countries, MSW represents a far larger potential for energy production than the digestion of liquid waste streams. The study addresses a number of pertinent questions: a) is there any opportunity for landfill gas (LFG) capture and use in SSA? b) can the methane generated from landfill be used as a sustainable source of energy? c) what are the two most promising cities in SSA for LFG capture? d) what is the potential of methane that can be generated? and finally, e) what are the financial indicators for an LFG capture and use project in the two selected cities in SSA?en
