Abstract

The goal of the project is to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in Jordan by substituting fossil fuels with bioenergy methane gas and electricity produced from anaerobic digestion of industrial and municipal waste in Amman. Additional greenhouse gas reduction will be achieved by reducing the uncontrolled release of methane from improperly disposed organic waste in a large landfill. The project's main activities include a combination of a landfill operation and a biogas plant. The proposed plant will be able to produce 1 MW of electricity based on methane from the landfill and the biogas plant. The project combines methane emission reduction and thus greenhouse gas reduction with production of electricity, thus helping to reduce burden of energy on the Jordan's economy.
