The project
Bisasar Road is one of the largest landfills in Africa and became South Africa’s first successful landfill-gas-to-electricity CDM project. Renew supplied the 2,000 Nm³/h HOFGAS LPM flare, twin 2,500 Nm³/h extraction blowers and the CDM measuring and data-logging equipment.
It is also where Renew pioneered horizontal gas wells in South Africa, an approach that lowers capital cost and starts extracting gas from a cell long before conventional vertical wells could be drilled.
