Another example is Lopez Canyon Landfill in Lake View Terrace in California - the world’s largest LFG microturbine installation which runs exclusively on methane gas produced by landfill. The USD 4 million project was initiated by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Each of the 50 microturbines, developed by Capstone MicroTurbines, is producing 30 kW of electricity. Approximately 1,3 MW of power can be generated for export into local utility grid, which is enough power to serve 1500 homes in the Los Angeles area (net of about 300 kW used onsite). The installation at Lopez Canyon also eliminates approximately 10000 pounds of NOx emissions per year, the equivalent to removing 500 automobiles. The Capstone units at Lopez Canyon are a version of the Capstone C30 especially configured to run on landfill [35, 36]. Picture 18. Microturbines at Lopez Canyon Landfill. Source: [36] 2.2.4 Stirling Engines Traditional gas or diesel internal-combustion engines mix fuel and air inside the cylinder. The mixture is ignited causing the combustion that pushes against the piston. The Stirling engine works differently. It contains a working gas (which may be air or an inert gas such as helium or hydrogen) that is sealed inside the engine and is used over and over. Rather than burning fuel inside the cylinder, the Stirling engine uses external heat to expand the gas contained inside the cylinder. As it expands, the gas pushes against the piston. The Stirling engine then 65PDF Image | Landfill Gas Energy Technologies
