SECTION A. Description of project activity

A.1. Purpose and general description of project activity
The purpose of the proposed CDM project activity is to collect the landfill gas (LFG) generated at
Ghazipur landfill site in eastern part of Delhi, India and upgrading it into enriched Btu Natural Gas to use
it as a renewable source of energy as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). This is one of the pioneering
efforts undertaken in the sector and the successful implementation and operation of the project would
showcase utilization of LFG as CNG in India and also reduction in GHG emissions in atmosphere.
The area earmarked for the project is approximately 15% of the total surface area of the Ghazipur landfill
site confined with waste. The accumulated waste quantity on the earmarked site is around 0.9 million
cu.m and the total accumulated waste on the entire Ghazipur landfill sites is around 4.5 million cu.m.
Currently the solid waste disposal site is without any landfill gas collection system and consequently there
is an unabated emission of methane gas into the atmosphere, before the subject project is undertaken.
Scenario Existing Prior to the Project Activity
Currently, the waste generated in the city of Delhi is land disposed and leveled by bulldozers at the
existing Solid Waste Disposal Site (SWDS) without any treatment causing a number of environmental &
health hazards including unabated emission of landfill gas to the atmosphere. Thus, the common practice
is open dumping of waste without any measures to avoid methane emissions (also the baseline scenario).
In the absence of the project activity, the waste was being disposed at the existing Solid Waste Disposal
Site (SWDS) located at Ghazipur in Eastern Delhi. The disposal site is operational since 1984 and has
been receiving waste till date. The baseline scenario is same as scenario existing prior to the project
activity.
Contribution to reduction in GHG emissions by the proposed project activity
The proposed project activity will lead to significant CO 2 emission reductions by two ways:
Abatement of methane emissions through LFG collection and combustion/flare
Purification of LFG for ultimate production of CNG to substitute fossil fuel consumption which
leads to reduction in both CO 2 emission and improve the air quality.
The average annual emission reductions over a period of 10 years have been estimated as 22,306tCO2e
per annum.
Contribution to sustainable development by the project activity:
Environmental Benefits:
The implementation of the project at the Ghazipur solid waste disposal site will create additional
environmental improvements and make a positive contribution to the global issue of climate change by
reducing GHGs. The project will prevent the following risks associated with the landfill gas:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The nuisance of unpleasant odour;

Air pollution
Discharge of untreated leachate into adjoining water bodies;
Risk of fire; and
Risk of explosion.
Technology Transfer:
The proposed project, being first of its kind in India, will demonstrate conversion of captured LFG to
CNG and will allow for replicating such experience in the country. The Project Activity will involve a
UNFCCC/CCNUCC
CDM Executive Board
Page 3
significant transfer of state-of-the-art technology and knowhow. As a part of its R&D activities, GAIL has
identified and selected purification & conversion of landfill gas to CNG among various possible
alternative utilization of LFG. The Ghazipur project is the pilot project for execution of this concept in
India.
Besides improving the overall management of the landfill, the project will support efforts aimed at
facilitating the dissemination of design and operational experience gained at the project area for possible
use throughout the entire Ghazipur disposal site as well as in other regions of the country. The project will
act as a clean technology demonstration project, encouraging development of modern and more efficient
utilization of landfill gas.
Economic Benefits:
The project will also support economic development due to technology transfer and local employment
opportunities.
The implementation of project would create direct and indirect jobs. Staff will be required to carry out the
closure activity as well as operate and maintain the landfill gas extraction, collection, cleaning and
subsequent conversion to CNG. The staff will be trained in advanced landfill gas-extraction, collection,
purification &operation techniques in order to optimize the landfill gas collection& purification system on
daily basis. In addition, contractors and labourers will be needed for the construction and commissioning
of the project.
Also, the sale of CERs earned by implementing the project will generate a substantial flow of foreign
currency in India.
Social Benefits
Since the landfill is situated near residential area, the project will improve the aesthetic conditions near
the site due to transformation of waste dump into scientifically managed landfill and green area. Surface
cover of the landfill would prevent the occurrence of problems such as foul odour, health hazards
associated with emission of methane and breeding of flies and rodents. The scattering of waste by wind
will also be reduced as the landfill will be closed. This would improve the public health by reducing the
occurrences of respiratory related ailments etc.

management system; leachate collection & management system; surface runoff management system; and
provision of other infrastructure facilities.
Engineered slopes with gradient of 1V:2H to 1V:3H have been proposed for maintaining the stability of
the slope as well as for installation LFG extraction wells. Over the final finished profile of the fill (i.e., on
the top and side slopes), a cover layer will be provided.
The cover layer for the project has been designed to maximize surface drainage, minimize air & water
infiltration there by allow for fully controlled and maximum recovery of landfill gas. Cover layer
proposed for the closure include following components:
Vegetative layer of topsoil of 45 cm thickness as the top most layer;

LFG collection layer of granular soil, permeability coefficient (k) > than 10-2 cm/sec, 15 cm
thickness, below the top soil for LFG collection pipe network;
Drainage composite layer of 6 mm thickness below the LFG collection layer;
Textured HDPE liner of 1.5 mm thick below drainage layer to act as a waterproof layer and also
prevent the escape of landfill gas from the landfill into the atmosphere;
Protection layer of amended soil (20cm) below the liner to safeguard against any infiltration.
For landfill gas collection, it is proposed to install a gas collection network comprising of adequate
number of gas collection wells with inter connected header and feeder pipes, blower to provide
adequate suction pressure and condensate control system.
The proposed leachate management system comprise of pneumatically operated leachate pump
submerged in each alternate gas extraction well for extracting leachate and leachate collection network
with leachate recirculation system.
Design for Conversion of LFG to CNG1
Landfill gas is primarily composed of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with smaller amounts of
hydrogen sulphide (H2S).Thus the LFG can be upgraded to enriched Btu natural gas by purification..
The process for conversion of LFG to enriched natural gas comprises of following three stages viz
(i) extraction of landfill gas; (ii) Purification and cleaning of landfill gas to convert it to high Btu
natural gas; and (iii) Compression & utilization of natural gas as CNG.
The system will also include a flare station. The flare has been proposed for safe and emergency
release/disposal of landfill gas in case of power and equipment failures, to handle abrupt changes in the
quality and flow rate of the LFG and also for destruction of excess and normal LFG when LFG to CNG
purification unit is not working.. For flaring landfill gas, minimum residence time of 0.3 seconds at
10000C has been proposed. The operating temperature of the proposed flare should be above the autoignition temperature of the LFG. CH4 auto ignites at 540-760oC (1000-1400oF), thus a minimum
operating temperature of 760oC (1400oF) have been specified.
The LFG extracted and collected from the landfill needs to be further purified and cleaned for conversion
to enriched Btu natural gas and compressed to use it as CNG. The key components that need to be
removed from LFG to convert it to CNG include H2S, CO 2 , particulates, Siloxane and moisture.
Established cleaning technologies are available for removal of each of the foresaid components from
LFG. For this project, Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) System for Conversion of LFG to CNG1
quality gas has been proposed to be used for cleaning and purifying the LFG. Landfill gas flow rate
considered for design of gas cleaning system is 300-600 m3/hour. The system with multistage stage
compressor has been proposed to compress the purified LFG obtained from the gas cleaning system to
CNG. The compressed natural gas will be transported to the CNG station through mobile cascades.

Pressure Swing Adsorption

This technology is used to separate methane from carbon dioxide, oxygen nitrogen and hydrogen sulphide
in the LFG/biogas stream by the difference of sizes of the molecules and physical forces. It often uses
activated carbon or zeolites as adsorption material, and operates at different pressure levels in four stages:
adsorption, de-pressuring, regeneration and pressure build-up as is shown in figure 4.3.1
Figure 4.3.1: Pressure Swing Adsorption2
In the baseline scenario, the waste would have been disposed into the existing landfill site without any
LFG collection and utilization system (business-as-usual scenario)

B.3. Project boundary
According to AMS III.G the project boundary is the physical, geographical site of the landfill where the
gas is captured and destroyed or used. According to AMS III.AQ project boundary is the spatial extent
that encompasses the bio-CNG plant, transportation from the CNG plant to CNG filling station where it
is used by the final consumers and the land from where the waste organic matters for the production of
Bio-CNG is sourced.

B.4. Establishment and description of baseline scenario

According to AMS III.G, The baseline scenario is the situation where, in the absence of the project
activity, biomass and other organic matter are left to decay within the project boundary and methane is
emitted to the atmosphere.
Currently, all the methane generated at the Ghazipur disposal site due to the decomposition of municipal
solid wastes is emitted into the atmosphere.
The implementation of the project activity will reduce the emission of methane into air from the landfill
area earmarked for the project activity. By capturing and destroying LFG gas through flaring and/ or
production of CNG resulting in destruction of methane and thus prevents the emission of methane which
is a much potent GHG than CO 2. . Conversion of LFG to CNG will result in the production of renewable
source of energy (waste to energy) thereby replacing the use of fossil fuels.
For the establishment of the baseline scenario, following alternatives for disposal/ treatment of waste
were considered.
LFG 1: The project activity (i.e. capture of landfill gas and its flaring and/or its use) undertaken
without being registered as CDM project activity; this is not possible because of the barriers faced
in the absence of CDM benefits as explained in Section B.5
LFG 2: Atmospheric release of landfill gas without any capture and destruction: this is the
business-as-usual scenario and is in line with applicable regulations.
In the absence of above project activity of CNG production from LFG, an equivalent amount of fossil
fuel would have been used to meet the energy demands for transportation applications (which is also the
business-as-usual scenario).
Thus the baseline identified is the atmospheric release of landfill gas without any capture and destruction
and use of fossil fuel to meet the corresponding energy demand for transportation (same as business-asusual scenario).
B.5. Demonstration of additionality
Additionality has been demonstrated using Guidelines on Additionality of first-of-its-kind Project
Activities, version 02.0, EB 69.
According to Guidelines on Additionality of first-of-its-kind Project Activities; A proposed project
activity is the First-of-its-kind in the applicable geographical area if:
a) The project is the first in the applicable geographical area that applies a technology that is
different from technologies that are implemented by any other project, which are able to deliver
the same output and have started commercial operation in the applicable geographical area before
the project design document (CDM-PDD) is published for global stakeholder consultation or
before the start date of the proposed project activity, whichever is earlier;
b) The project implements one or more of the measures, which includes:
Fuel and feedstock switch (example: switch from naphtha to natural gas for energy
generation, or switch from limestone to gypsum in cement clinker production);
Switch of technology with or without change of energy source including energy
efficiency improvement as well as use of renewable energies (example: energy efficiency
improvements, power generation based on renewable energy);
Methane destruction (example: landfill gas flaring);
UNFCCC/CCNUCC
CDM Executive Board
Page 12
Methane formation avoidance (example: use of biomass that would have been left to
decay in a solid waste disposal site resulting in the formation and emission of methane,
for energy generation).
c) Project participants selected a crediting period for the project activity that is a maximum of 10
years with no option of renewal
For the project activity, following the guidelines:
Applicable geographical area is the complete host country; i.e., India
Measure is identified as Methane Destruction
The ultimate Output is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for transport applications
The proposed project activity is first-of-its kind since:
a) It is the first project in host country India which applies a technology to convert captured landfill
gas to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) which may be used for transport applications.
b) The crediting period selected for project activity is fixed 10 years.
Thus the project is additional.
Demonstration of CDM consideration for the project activity
As per EB 62, version 05 (paragraph 2):
For project activities with a starting date on or after 02 August 2008, the project participant must inform
a Host Party DNA and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity
and of their intention to seek CDM status. Such notification must be made within six months of the project
activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and a brief description of the
proposed project activity, using the standardized form F-CDM-Prior Consideration. Such notification is
not necessary if a PDD has been published for global stakeholder consultation or a new methodology
proposed to the Executive Board for the specific project before the project activity start date.
The project is in construction stage. The start date of the project is taken as the date when the EPC contract
order for the project activity was given to UPL Environmental Engineers Limited on 8th August 2012. On 25th
May 2012, tender was floated by GAIL for implementation of project 5. Prior to this, the PP has communicated
the prior consideration for the project activity to The Secretariat, CDM Executive Board, UNFCCC on 20 July
2011 6 with copy to Ministry of Environment and Forest, India (Host party DNA). The copy of the same is
furnished to the DOE for verification in respect of pre-requirement to proceed with that of validation of the
project activity and a screenshot of PCF on UNFCCC website has been given below:

The amount of waste type j deposited each year x (W j,x ) shall be determined by
sampling (as specified in the above-mentioned tool), in the case that waste is generated
during the crediting period. Alternatively, for existing SWDS, if the pre-existing
amount and composition of the wastes in the landfill are unknown, they can be
estimated by using parameters related to the serviced population or industrial activity,
or by comparison with other landfills with similar conditions at regional or national
level

Calculation of BECH4,SWDS,y
The amount of methane that would in the absence of the project activity be generated from disposal of
waste at the solid waste disposal site (BE CH4,SWDS,y ) is calculated with a multi-phase model. The
calculation is based on a first order decay (FOD) model. The model differentiates between the different
types of waste j with respectively different decay rates k j and different fractions of degradable organic
carbon (DOCj ). The model calculates the methane generation based on the actual waste streams
W j,xdisposed in each year x, where x refers to the year since the landfill started receiving wastes [x runs
from the first year of landfill operation (x=1) to the year for which emissions are calculated (x=y)].
In cases where at the SWDS methane is captured (e.g. due to safety regulations) and flared, combusted or
used in another manner, the baseline emissions are adjusted for the fraction of methane captured at the
SWDS.
The amount of methane produced in the year y (BE CH4,SWDS,y ) is calculated as follows *(as per equation 1

AMS-III.H
Calculation of PEpower,y
Determination of CEF elec,y
Project emissions from electricity consumption are determined as per the procedures described in AMSI.D Grid connected renewable electricity generation. For project emissions from fossil fuel
consumption the emission factor for the fossil fuel shall be used (tCO 2/tonne). Local values are to be
used, if local values are difficult to obtain, IPCC default values may be used. If recovered landfill gas is
used to power auxiliary equipment of the project it should be taken into account accordingly, using zero
as its emission factor.
Central Electricity Authority (CEA) 7 of India officially publishes the emission factor for each regional
grid on their website and updates it after each fiscal year. For this project activity the respective
Combined Margin Emission Factor for the NEWNE regional grid has been chosen from the version 7 of
CEA database of March 2012. The value for the same has been taken as 0.9147 tCO 2/ MWh for the
purpose of calculation.

For ex-ante calculations the fuel consumption has been taken as 0. Fossil fuel consumption within the
project boundary for the project will be monitored. The Project Participant (PP) also proposes to have
HSD fired DG sets for any exigency that may arise. The project emissions for these have been considered
zero for the purpose of calculations but will be monitored ex-post.
Calculation of PEflare,y
If flaring (single or multiple) is used to destroy all or part of the recovered landfill gas, project emissions
from flaring in year y (PE flare,y in tCO 2e) shall be determined for each flare following the procedure
described in the methodological tool Project emissions from flaring.
According to the this tool,
PEflare,y = Project emissions from flaring of the residual gas in year y (tCO 2)
GWP CH4= Global warming potential of methane valid for current commitment period (tCO 2/tCH4 )
F CH4,RG,m = Mass flow of methane in the residual gas in minute m (kg)
flare m = Flare efficiency in minute m
The mass flow of methane in the residual gas will be monitored and project emissions calculated on the
basis of the same. The GWP CH4 is 21 and the minimum/default value of 90% for flare efficiency of
enclosed flare will be used to calculate project emissions. However, the flare is designed to destroy 100%
of methane emission from LFG.
Calculation of PE process
Emissions from the landfill gas upgrading process in the year y (tCO2e), is to be determined by following
the relevant procedures described in annex 1 of AMS-III.H. This has been discussed in the following
paragraphs

PECH 4, y
Project emissions due to the physical leakage of methane from the systems
affected by the project activity for production, processing, purification,
compression; storage and filling of the Bio-CNG in year y (tCO 2e)
Calculation of PEtransport,y
According to the methodology AMS-III AQ, project emissions from transportation of the renewable
biomass and/or waste organic matters from the places of their origin to the biogas production site and the
processed biogas from the biogas processing facility to the filling stations have to be accounted following
the procedures in AMS-III.AK Biodiesel production and use for transport applications if the
transportation distance is more than 200 km, otherwise they can be neglected.
Since the CNG produced by the project activity will be supplied to filling station within Delhi, hence
transportation distance from CNG production facility to filling stations can be neglected. However, the
distance of transportation of CNG will be monitored for the project activity.
Calculation of PECH4,y
Project emissions associated with the physical leakage of methane from the systems affected by the
project activity are calculated as follows:
PECH 4, y = PE AD , y + PEBio CNG , y

Where:
PE AD , y
CH4 leakage emissions from the anaerobic digesters in year y (tCO 2e)
PEBio CNG , y
Project emissions of CH4 from biogas and Bio-CNG processing, upgrading,

purification, compression, storage and transportation (leaks and dissolved in
wastewater) in year y (tCO 2e)
The baseline scenario is anaerobic decomposition of waste in the landfill site. Hence PEAD,y is not
considered for project emissions.
Calculation of PEBio-CNG,y
According to the methodology AMS-III.AQ, project emission from physical leakage due to biogas
treatment system shall be determined as per the relevant procedures in Annex I of AMS-III.H Methane
recovery in wastewater treatment:
(a)
Methane emissions from the discharge of the upgrading equipment are determined;
(b)
Fugitive methane emissions from leaks in compression equipment;
(c)
Methane emissions due to the vent gases from upgrade equipment;

India currently has no legislation mandating capture of methane from
landfill gas.
Common practice is unabated venting of LFG in the atmosphere. The
project is the first in the host country that attempts to capture and destroy
LFG and hence the choice is justified.

When methane passes through the top-layer, part of it is oxidized by
methanotrophic bacteria to produce CO2. The oxidation factor represents
the proportion of methane that is oxidized to CO2. This should be
distinguished from the methane correction factor (MCF) which is to
account for the situation that ambient air might intrude into the SWDS and
prevent methane from being formed in the upper layer of SWDS.

B.7.2. Sampling plan

No sampling is required
B.7.3. Other elements of monitoring plan
Use of the Monitoring Plan (MP) by the Operator
This Monitoring Plan identifies key performance indicators of the project and sets out the procedures for
metering, monitoring, calculating and verifying the ERs generated by the Ghazipur landfill closure
project, annually. Adherence to the instructions in the Monitoring Plan will be issued to the operator to
measure and track the impact of the project on the environment. The operator will prepare all data
required for the periodic audit and verification process that must be undertaken to confirm the
achievement of the corresponding ERs. The MP is thus the basis for the production of ERs and
accreditation of the ERs within the CDM mechanism.
If the Monitoring Plan is updated and adjusted to meet operational requirements, it will be done so with
DOE approval. Any shifts in the baseline scenario may lead to such amendments, which may be
mandated by the DOE. Amendments may also be necessary as a consequence of new circumstances that
affect the ability to monitor ERs as described here or to accommodate new or modified CDM rules. All
the results of monitoring shall be preserved by the project proponent for two years beyond the end of
crediting period or the last issuance of CERs for the project activity whichever occurs later.
Organizational, Operational and Monitoring Obligations
Obligations of the Operator
Monitoring the projects performance in terms of ERs achievement requires the fulfillment of operational
data collection and processing obligations from the operator. The operator of landfill closure plant has the
primary obligation to collect data that would facilitate the calculation of the project ERs. The data shall be
collected by the operator based on the most recent available information as per the Procedures presented
in this PDD. In addition, roles and responsibilities of monitoring personnel would be well defined.
Examples of roles and responsibilities for monitoring of data and parameters are provided with this
monitoring plan; however these need to be updated on a regular basis.
UNFCCC/CCNUCC
CDM Executive Board
Page 36
It is believed that the monitoring plan approach presented here will result in an accurate, yet conservative
calculation of ERs. However some uncertainties may lead to a deviation between monitored and verified
ERs, especially errors in the data monitoring and processing system. The operator is expected to prevent
such errors and the verification audits are expected to uncover any possible errors. The operation of the
facilities will be documented in a quality control program, monitoring the conditions and procedures that
ensure efficient capture of the landfill gas.
Monitoring Organization
The responsibilities of each entity involved in the setting up and monitoring of the Ghazipur Landfill
closure project activity is summarized in the table below:

storing up the calibration certificates and records. Calibration documents will be kept for all the
equipments until two years after the end of the crediting period.
Data Management and Storing system
The data will be archived electronically onsite and spreadsheets will be prepared. The information
archived will be aggregated hourly, monthly and yearly in a standard format for the preparation for
reporting purposes.
The site manager will implement a document control system to ensure that all the necessary documents
(records of monitored data, drawings, maintenance and calibration instructions etc.) are available and
stored in a proper manner. A copy of the monitored data (both on CDs and papers) will be kept separately
in fire proof cabins, so as to ensure safety.
All data, including calibration records and Monitoring reports will be kept until 2 years after the end of
crediting period or the last issuance of the CERs for the project activity, whichever occurs later.
Audit Review
Internal Audits will be performed by an auditor not involved in the daily operation of the plant, in order to
assess the implementation of the monitoring plan and to prepare the monitoring report. All audit findings,
including corrective actions, will be recorded and will be available onsite at the time of verification.

SECTION E. Local stakeholder consultation

E.1. Solicitation of comments from local stakeholders
A Stakeholder consultation was held on 8th November, 2012 at the Landfill gas pilot project site to seek
various valuable inputs on the project from various stakeholders. A wide range of stakeholders were
invited through press notification and were actively took part in the consultation process.
The stakeholder consultation was led by Mr. Ravi Someswarudu GM (R&D), GAIL (India) Ltd, the
project proponent, in presence of East Delhi Municipal corporation (EDMC) officials. A total of 37
participants attended the meeting which includes GAIL representatives, MCD officers, landfill project
site supervisor, Project Management Consultant, consultants from IL&FS, representatives from academia,
contractors and local people.
The opening of the local stakeholder consultation was done by Mr. T. Nandakumar, Senior Manager
(R&D), GAIL (India) Ltd. The concept, technology and design of the project activities were presented in
detail and the expected benefits were discussed at length. The project was discussed in detail with the
help of a model of the project so that the local stakeholders can understand the project easily. The
discussion was held in such a manner that it can be easily understood by laymen.
Mr. Parivesh Chug, Chief Manager (R&D), GAIL (India) Ltd explained about the CDM aspect of the
project and its various benefits. He informed that the project documents will now be submitted for the
Host Country Approval (HCA).
The discussion about the project activities were carried out on a one to one basis. After the discussion,
stakeholders were asked to clarify their queries, if they have any. Stakeholders asked some questions and
GAIL representatives gave the clarifications to those questions.
E.2. Summary of comments received
The following queries/comments were raised by the local stakeholders:
i)
Is EIA has been carried out for this project or not?
ii)
How will the project benefit the environment?
iii)
How long shall GAIL extract gas from the project?
iv)
Is this the first kind of project in India?
v)
What kind of technologies will be used for landfill gas purification?
vi)
Is there any provision for prevention of mixing of rain water with the waste? Sealing of
boundaries is done or not?
vii)
Is there any risk of O 2 leakage into the project boundary
viii)
The project area is only 4 hectare which is adjacent to the active site. So how the leaching from
the active site will be prevented?
ix)
Is there any provision for Flue gas monitoring?
E.3. Report on consideration of comments received
Q.1 Is EIA has been carried out for this project or not?
Response by GAIL: EIA is not required for this kind of project and this is an environmentally benign
project and is exempt from the EIA under relevant existing regulations.
Q.2 How will the project benefit the environment?
Response by GAIL: The fugitive emission of Landfill gas to atmosphere shall be reduced by providing
the surface cover. This will lead to reduction in emissions of Greenhouse Gases to the atmosphere thereby
contributing towards the global efforts of combating global warming.
UNFCCC/CCNUCC
CDM Executive Board
Page 39
Q.3 How long shall GAIL extract gas from the site?
Response by GAIL: It is a pilot project and the area allocated for the pilot project is about 4 hectare out
of total area of 29.6 hectare and as per earlier LFG Pump test conducted by GAIL during 2009, it is
expected that nearly 500 m3/hr of landfill gas may be extracted during the first year. However, with
passage of time it will tend to decrease. So the purification plant has been designed in such a way that it
will function till 50% of the initial capacity.
Q.4 Is this the first kind of project in India?
Response by GAIL: This pilot project is being implemented in two phases and the First Phase is the
Landfill closure and gas capture and the second phase involves the purification and upgrading of LFG to
enriched /high Btu Natural Gas to use it as a renewable source of energy in transport applications. While
the landfill closure and gas capture (i.e. Phase-1 Project) is already implemented in Gorai Landfill of
Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, the purification and upgrading of LFG to enriched/high Btu
Natural Gas is being implemented first time in India. Thus the project activity is first of its kind in India.
Q.5 What kind of technologies will be used for landfill gas purification?
Response by GAIL: For purification &conversion of Landfill gas to enriched/high quality Natural gas
various proven technologies like water scrubbing, Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and membrane based
system are available and these technologies are safe and easy to operate. GAIL may go for PSA system.
Q.6 Is there any provision for prevention of mixing of rain water with the waste? Sealing of boundaries is
done or not?
Response by GAIL: Yes. The surface of the project area will be covered with High Density Polyethylene
(HDPE) to prevent the mixing of water with the waste.
Q.7 Is there any risk of O 2 leakage into the project boundary?
Response by GAIL: No. Since the project boundary will be covered with High Density Polyethylene
(HDPE). Secondly, the wells are perforated only two third from the bottom. So there is rare chances of O 2
mixing with the LFG.
Q.8 The project area is only 4 hectare which is adjacent to the active site. So how the leaching from the
active site will be prevented?
Response by GAIL: Active site is currently in use and which cannot be covered with liner. Therefore
leachate generation from this part is unavoidable as of now.
Q.9 Is there any provision for Flue gas monitoring?
Response by GAIL: There are sample collection points on the stack and samples will be collected and
analyzed regularly for flue gas monitoring.
