Kırıkkale Landfill Gas (LFG) Project

Landfill Methane Recovery

The proposed Project is a waste to power project that will generate renewable energy by capturing methane from municipal waste and utilizing it to produce thermal and electric energy through gas engine systems. By supplying renewable energy generated at the plant to the national grid, the proposed Project will contribute to increasing the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix and the proportion of the population with primary reliance on clean fuels and technology.

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

The demand for food and electric energy is rapidly increasing in Turkey for various reasons, such as industrialization, urbanization, economic development, and population growth. The country's external dependence on agricultural products has intensified because the increasing demand cannot be met by a decreasing domestic agricultural production capacity which is due to several reasons, such as shrinkage of agricultural land, increasing migration to urban spaces from rural areas where agricultural production is densely located, and dramatic increase in the cost of inputs for agricultural production. Therewithal, Turkey, which cannot meet its increasing electricity demand due to the deprivation of conventional resources used to generate energy, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, has also become foreign-dependent on energy. Through its implementation, the proposed project activity will contribute to reducing Turkey's foreign dependency by generating renewable energy out of municipal wastes. In addition, as an LFG- based renewable energy technology implementation, the proposed project activity will achieve higher levels of economic productivity; hence, increasing the annual growth rate of real GDP per employed person. Moreover, it will increase the region's employment capacity while decreasing the unemployment rate.

The carbon development project under review involves the establishment of a 1003 kWe Landfill Gas (LFG) Plant in Kırıkkale, Turkey. Constructed in 2013 by Motek Enerji A.Ş., the project aims to harness the potential of landfill gas as a renewable energy source. Situated in Kırıkkale, the project not only contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also brings several benefits to the local community, such as job creation, improved air quality, and enhanced energy security. The project serves as a noteworthy example of sustainable development, highlighting the positive impact of utilizing landfill gas for the benefit of the local population and the environment. Project aims to have 20.693 tons of emission reduction yearly.
