Gaziantep Landfill Gas
Captures methane and generates renewable electricity in one of Turkey's largest cities.
The Gaziantep Landfill Gas project captures and utilizes methane generated by organic waste at the Gaziantep municipal solid waste landfill. Gaziantep is one of Turkey's largest cities and a major industrial center, generating substantial waste volumes. The project's gas collection system captures methane that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere, combusting it in generators to produce clean electricity for the regional grid. This approach addresses both waste management and energy needs while reducing potent greenhouse gas emissions. The project supports Gaziantep's environmental modernization and Turkey's renewable energy goals, demonstrating how large urban centers can transform waste liabilities into climate and energy assets.
