• Accepts both residential and commercial waste
• Receives approximately 41,000 Tonnes/Yr
• Capacity estimated to be reached in 2058

Results from the Samson Engineering Feasibility Study
• Indicated that there may be potential for development of methane gas.
• That the City of Brandon take it to the next step to verify numbers.

Basic COMCOR Findings• The landfill is relatively young and
methane gas utilization should be sustainable for over 20 years or more.
• The numbers reflect that there is enough methane to sustain a 1.0 to a 1.5 MW electrical generating plant. (Estimated that a 1.0 MW plant could supply enough electricity for 800 homes.
• It may be possible to expand in the future to a 4 or 5 MW plant.

Alternative Uses
• Alternative fuel for sanitation equipment.
• Direct Use for heating something rather than generating electricity as it may be more advantageous due to capital infrastructure cost.
• Minimum we should be flaring it off as methane gas is 21 times more harmful to the environment than CO2.

Where From Here?
• The City of Brandon is preparing a Request for Proposal request to send out to potential developers to propose potential uses of the methane and the potential financial benefits for the City of Brandon.
