Project Brief

Iskenderun Landfill Gas to Electricity Project is an LFG power generation project, locates at İskenderun landfill site in İskenderun District, Hatay Province, Turkey. The project is invested and operated by Novtek Enerji Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. The project started operation on 05/01/2016. Emra has granted generated license for the project activity on 26/11/2015. The total installed capacity will be 4.2 MW, consisting of 3 sets of generator. The feed-in electricity is estimated to be 31,988.88 MWh annually and 319,888.8 during the fixed 10 years crediting period. The İskenderun landfill site began operation in 2016, with an aggregate designed capacity of 20,657,340 m3 and an operational lifespan of 19 years. It will handle an average of 1626 tonnes MSW per day. The expected average annual emission reductions are 159,471 tCO2e during the fixed 10 years crediting period. The total estimated emission reductions over the crediting period of the project will be 1,594,707 tCO2e.

Before the implementation of the project activity, no gas extraction and utilization systems existed and the LPG was emitted into the atmosphere directly. The project collects and utilizes LFG from İskenderun landfill site for power generation, which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. Methane in the LFG has been emitted to the atmosphere since the landfill started operation. Therefore the project avoids methane emissions and, at the same time, electricity is generated from a renewable energy source, instead of being provided by the grid.
