Landfills are still one of the most common ways to dispose solid urban waste in many countries due to their relatively simple technical requirements, operational costs and low investment. Moreover, biogas produced in landfills can be used as a renewable energy source for power generation. The Valencian region is one of the largest solid urban waste producers in Spain, and therefore, it may have an unexplored potential of landfill biogas production. This paper aims to estimate the landfill biogas production and its power generation potential for the Valencian region to provide related information about the use of landfill gas as an alternative source of energy. Statistical data from urban solid waste in landfills were gathered from the provinces of Alicante, Castellon, and Valencia, then the assessment of landfill biogas production was estimated by means of waste classification and disposal for each province. Results presented in this work show that the Valencian region has an important potential to use landfill biogas from solid urban waste as a renewable source for power generation, and also provide insights in valuable information to the Spanish government, academic researches, policymakers, and possible investors.
