Özet

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is increasing in parallel with population surplus. Removal of thiswaste is essential due to not only bad smell and image pollution but also the formation ofdangerous methane gas during the disposal. Methane can be used as an energy source because ofits calorific value. Waste management strategies aiming at converting domestic wastes from athreat in terms of environment, human health, and transforming wastes into an input for theeconomy need to be widespread in Çukurova Region. In this study, the potential of MSW inÇukurova region is presented according to the base year of 2014 data using the projection ofpopulation who are supposed to live in this region. For this evaluation, LandGEM modeling toolis used, and the projected gas generation is provided. Since there is a disposal facility establishedin Adana, the parameters used for modelling are different for Adana and Mersin. A bioreactorwas established in Adana Metropolitan Municipality Integrated Solid Waste Disposal Facilitythus wet inventory landfill type is chosen when modeling the landfill gas (LFG) generation. Onthe contrary, inventory conventional landfill type is chosen for Mersin. Results have shown thatthe electricity generation of Çukurova region could reach approximately 55 MW maximumcapacity in case of using suitable disposal plants.
