By utilizing methane generated by the San Pedro landfill in Laguna to power its GE Jenbacher gas engines, the project is expected to reduce the landfill’s methane emissions about 70%.
GE supplied four containerized Jenbacher JGC 320 gas engine gensets, and full commercial operation of the new plant is expected by January 2011.
The San Pedro project will be registered under the Clean Development Mechanism of the United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Bacavalley Energy is the owner and operator of the San Pedro project, and Tankerton Construction of Quezon City, Philippines, was the lead contractor for the construction of the new plant.
