Abstract
Tamangapa landfill is main landfill in Makassar city. Some of significant problems arise from it. One of them is environmental pollution caused by waste production. On the other side, the methane gas produced by organic waste can be used for electrical generation via waste power plant. This research examined the potential of methane gas production. It also studied the potential of electrical power generetaion based on sanitary landfill model. The prediction of waste amount had been done using linear regression method with SPSS software. By calculation, the methane gas production was estimated around 30,329.64 m3 in 2027. The electrical power was estimated around 27.35 MW.
