Implemented by company "Industrias de Biogás", the project will potentially generate 4 Megawatts.
Developed at a landfill in Zone 3 of Guatemala City, 120 wells will extract Methane from the landfill in order to produce the electricity.
"The landfill in Zone 3 receives about two thousand tons of garbage a day, and what is expected is for this project to produce an average of 70 thousand tons of carbon dioxide per year during the period 2012-2016,” reported Prensalibre.com.
