Project Description
This project, led by Kildare County Council (KCC), will research the heat recovery potential within on-site wastes at Kerdiffstown Landfill. During ongoing environmental monitoring on-site, elevated ground temperatures were identified at particular locations. This research project will assess the ground source thermal potential within the main body of waste (40m deep) and investigate the viability of recovering thermal energy for space heating both on and off site through implementation of a field trial.Project Details
