Background Spain’s National Allocation Plan of Emissions Allowance covers the period from 2008 to 2012 and includes an emphasis on efforts to reduce climate change impacts by improving energy saving and energy efficiency measures. Contributions to the national targets can be achieved by harnessing methane (CH4) produced by landfills as an alternative energy supply. Objectives The ultimate aim of this project was to create self-sufficient energy supplies for the Huesca solid urban waste landfill facility. This goal would have been achieved by introducing new technology to capture and convert the methane produced within the municipal landfill into power for the landfill’s operations (administration, dumping, classification and compacting plant, etc.). Additional alternative energy sources (wind and solar) would have been adopted and further environmental gains would have been secured by replanting closed landfill sections with trees. The works would have acted as a demonstration project for other local authorities and lessons learnt would have been widely disseminated. The energy efficiency efforts would also have been used to raise awareness among the general public about tangible options for tackling climate change concerns, and the project results were expected to provide useful environmental education information resources. Expected results: A Biogas plant: generating some 500 KW of nominal power as a minimum; A solar plant: generating 100 KW of nominal power, as a minimum; Wind installation: generating 100 KW of nominal power, as a minimum; New vegetation covering some 10 ha; and Visitor Centre numbers averaging 200 people per month.Results The project has been cancelled by the beneficiary for financial reason
