Resumen

In Brazil, despite the high share of renewable energy sources in the energy mix compared to the world average, the use of gas generated by landfills for power generation is still incipient. There are landfills recently implanted with the purpose to produce electricity from biogas, but the oldest installations do not have this structure. Since the oil industry is energy intensive, the article proposes the evaluation of waste gas use in the steam generation system of a typical refinery in Brazil to generate electricity and feed the refinery process units and considering the economic impact. In this sense, it presents an analysis based on real data to contextualize and quantify the waste biogas potential in a specific landfill in Brazil. The study considers a landfill at the end of life (17 years), and the reuse of the residual gas generated until the full depletion of gases considering a case study with real data obtained from an existing landfill.

En Brasil, a pesar del alto porcentaje de las energías renovables en el mix energético en comparación con el promedio mundial, el uso de gas generado por los vertederos para la generación de energía es aún incipiente. Hay vertederos desplegadas recientemente con el objetivo de producir electricidad a partir de biogás, pero las plantas más viejas, no tienen esta estructura. Dado que la industria petrolera es de alto consumo energético, este artículo propone la evaluación de la utilización de los gases residuales en el sistema de generación de vapor de una refinería típica en Brasil para generar electricidad y alimentar las unidades de proceso de la refinería. En este sentido, se presenta un análisis basado en datos reales para contextualizar y cuantificar el potencial de biogás de residuos en Brasil. Este estudio considera un relleno al final de la vida (17 años), y la reutilización del gas residual generado hasta el agotamiento completo de gases, teniendo en cuenta un estudio de casos con datos reales de un vertedero existente.
