Brusque, SC, Brazil

BRUSQUE LANDFILL GAS PROJECT

The Brusque landfill is a well-managed landfill site located in the municipality of Brusque in Santa Catarina State (Southeastern region of Brazil). The landfill started its operations in year 2009. This landfill site was designed and has been operated by the host-country project proponent and project owner and project proponent Recicle Catarinense de Resíduos LTDA. The proposed VCS project activity titled “Brusque Landfill Gas Project” encompasses the promotion of collection and destruction/utilization of landfill gas (LFG) (rich in methane) through collection LFG and its destruction in high temperature enclosed flare and utilization as gaseous fuel in a set of engine-generator sets of an electricity generation infrastructure (with final total combined nameplate installed capacity of 4.56 MW). As per its design configuration, combustion of collected LFG occurs in the following methane destruction device(s): - 1 high temperature enclosed flare; - 3 engine-generator sets of an electricity generation infrastructure (in which collected LFG will be utilized as gaseous fuel for electricity generation), that will be installed in 2024. - Possibility of future increase of the number of engine-generator sets, maintaining a total combined nameplate capacity up to 10 MW.
