Landfill and Waste Management

Landfill gas has been used in power generation since the mid 80s with approximately 500 active sites throughout the UK.

The gas produced by landfill is a natural byproduct of the decomposition of organic waste, primarily containing 50% methane and 50% carbon dioxide. By burning the gas that is collected this can be used to generate electricity through combined heat and power. This is a valuable renewable energy source whilst helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Working in partnership with our European suppliers, CooperÖstlund can provide gas-to-grid (G2G) which will upgrade the gas into biomethane which can be injected into the existing natural gas grid.

CooperÖstlund tailors its services to the needs of each individual client, utilising our vast technical expertise and networks within the CHP industry.

We cover every aspect of your facility’s needs from on site generation to power to grid solutions.

Many of our clients in this sector are now experiencing a reduction in gas as their curve drops off. We can supply smaller generators that run on lower methane values to replace your existing fleet.

We have many options from new generators / CHPs to refurbished plant that may utilise your existing containers and / or other plant. Also, as your ROCs (Renewal Obligations Certificates) come to an end, we have gas injection options you can consider where we offer a proven landfill gas upgrading system. We can upgrade your existing plant or supply brand new or refurbished (0-hour-ed) engines.

We can supply genuine, OEM and refurbished parts according to your budget and needs with warranty provision.
