<strong>Methane</strong> Recovery Potential from<br />

• High levels <strong>of</strong> waste generation <strong>in</strong> urban areas<br />
• Mumbai – 7,025 MT, Delhi – 5,500 MT<br />
• High organic content <strong>of</strong> waste<br />
• Over 70% biodegradable material<br />
• Current uncontrolled l<strong>and</strong>fills are deep<br />
• Delhi l<strong>and</strong>fills are 18 to 22 meters deep
<strong>L<strong>and</strong>fill</strong> <strong>Methane</strong> Recovery Issues at<br />
New Sites <strong>in</strong> India<br />
• New legislation requires sanitary l<strong>and</strong>fills<br />
• Need to consider methane recovery<br />
projects at the development phase<br />
• Need objective <strong>and</strong> unbiased expertise<br />
on appropriate technologies
