Three Jenbacher gas engines from GE commissioned at Estre Ambiental’s landfill in Guatapara City, São Paulo, Brazil

Three Jenbacher gas engines from GE that have been commissioned at Estre Ambiental’s landfill in Guatapara City, São Paulo, Brazil. The engines, which will run on landfill gas, will make the first waste-to-energy project at one of the largest municipal solid waste operations in Latin America.
 
The three 1.4 MW J420 Jenbacher gas engines make the total output 4.2 MW, with potential to be expanded to 10 MW in the next five years as part of GE’s plans. The three engines will produce enough energy to power around 13,000 average Brazilian homes. They will be powered by landfill gas, which is created from solid waste decomposing to produce methane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
