Conference List

Landfill gas is increasingly being recognised as an important component of Africa’s broader renewable gas and circular economy landscape, offering opportunities to reduce methane emissions while generating dispatchable renewable energy from existing waste streams. This session will explore the role of landfill gas projects within wider waste-to-energy strategies, examining both the technical and commercial realities of capturing, upgrading and utilising landfill-derived methane in industrial and municipal contexts. The discussion will also consider how landfill gas systems can interact with and complement anaerobic digestion and biogas infrastructure to create more integrated and flexible renewable gas ecosystems.

Drawing on operational project experience, Energidrop will present insights from the Robinson Deep landfill project, exploring the interaction between landfill gas and AD biogas systems, including opportunities for heat integration and hybrid renewable gas approaches. Alongside this, Energy Systems will provide a broader overview of landfill gas project development and implementation, sharing practical lessons from operational sites and discussing the evolving role of landfill gas within South Africa’s energy transition and waste management landscape. Contributing the landfill owner and operator perspective, EnviroServ will provide insight into how landfill gas recovery integrates within broader waste management, environmental compliance and circular economy strategies.

Delegates can expect to gain a clearer understanding of the technical, environmental and commercial considerations involved in landfill gas recovery, as well as the opportunities for integrating landfill gas into wider decarbonisation and circular economy strategies.
