ENERGY RECOVERY OF BIOGAS GENERATED IN LANDFILLS FOR MANUFACTURING HIGH QUALITY CERAMIC PRODUCTS

The project focus on using the biogas, produced in the Can Mata landfill, as an

alternative fuel source in a ceramic factory. This is the first application of this technology in

Spain, and one of the first experiments of its kind in Europe. The new process design means that

83% of the energy consumed in the ceramic factory comes from a renewable energy source,

thereby avoiding 18,005,040 Kg of CO2 emissions/year. Moreover, in the landfill, 80% of the

energy available from the collected biogas is been recovered.
