Landfill Gas Project RFI

  • Landfill Gas Project RFI

    This questionnaire forms part of the Request for Information (RFI) process organised by UPM Umwelt-Projekt-Management GmbH to identify and assess landfill gas projects with potential to access carbon finance and carbon markets.The information provided will be used solely for the preliminary evaluation of your project and to determine its suitability for further assessment. Participation in this RFI does not create any obligation for either party to enter into a collaboration, financing arrangement, or any other agreement.If you have any questions while completing the questionnaire, please contact us at info@upm-climate.eu. You may also request the correction or deletion of any information you have submitted at any time by contacting us at the same address.

  • Landfill Identification / General Background

  • Project implementation timeline / current status*
  • Waste types accepted (selected all applicable)*
  • Is there an estimate of landfill gas generation?*
  • Are there legally binding regulatory requirements for landfill gas management affecting this site?*
  • Regulatory requirements

  • FOR NEW LANDFILL

  • Is gas capture technically feasible?
  • Is energy recovery feasible?
  • Will landfill gas flow rate, methane concentration, and equipment operating hours be reliably monitored for the planned landfill?

  • FOR EXISTING LANDFILL

  • Is there a landfill gas (LFG) collection system?
  • Type of LFG collection system
  • What happens to the gas?
  • If flared, what is the main purpose?
  • Is historical data available to quantify performance of the existing landfill gas system?
  • Can performance of the existing LFG system be clearly distinguished from project improvements?
  • Can landfill gas flow rate, methane concentration, and equipment operating hours be reliably monitored?

  • Planned Landfill Gas Collection Component

  • What will the project do with the landfill gas (LFG)?*
  • If electricity is generated, how will it be used?
  • Is there access to an electricity grid connection suitable for power export?
  • If heat is generated or used, what is the replacement type?*
  • If replacement, what is the original type of heat system?
  • What will happen to the existing heat equipment?
  • Are there nearby energy users that could utilize heat from the project?
  • Will gas be supplied externally?
  • Is there access to a gas network or potential off-takers for the biome thane?

  • Baseline Consistency Check

  • Additionality and Risks

  • Is the landfill gas collection activity already part of a carbon project or program?*
  • Are similar projects common in the country?*
  • Will leachate recirculation or other site management changes increase methane generation versus the baseline?*
  • Will the project reduce the amount of organic waste that would otherwise be recycled or composted?*
  • Will the project extend the operational lifetime of the landfill? (if existing)*
  • Is there a risk of double-counting with other carbon schemes, renewable certificates, or domestic mitigation programs?*

  • Document Uploads

    DOCUMENTATION (not mandatory at initial screening stage)

  • For example: Historical LFG data (flow, concentration, flares); Regulatory documents (permits, waste laws, etc); Engineering studies / (pre-) feasibility study reports; Monitoring reports / operational logs; Waste disposal & recycling data; Landfill design & leachate management plans; etc.
