Abstract

This paper deals with the analytic rating of the economic investment in an energy recovery plant for municipal waste, in relation to the estimate of its capability to exploit biogas production transformation, and sale of electricity production, and the Green Certificates. The approach entails the assessment of potential scenarios of biogas flare coming from its production forecasts, according to different models: the LandGEM Model and the stoichiometric model describing the degradation of the organic fraction. The proposed approach has been applied to the landfill in Mariana Mantovana (MN), and has show positive trends, highlighting the advantages of this investment.
