• Convert a successful experimental landfill gas collection system to a full-scale methane recovery system and power plant (consisting of two 0.435 MW internal combustion engine/generator sets).  
• The University will use electricity produced by this facility.  
• The project will be the first of its kind in this region and thus will provide a demonstration of the technology and financial and institutional arrangements necessary for implementation of a LFG project in Thailand.  
• The project will also encourage replication of the project through dissemination of technical information and project results. 
• Project implementation will be through a public-private partnership. This landfill is located about 60 km north of Bangkok, adjacent to the University.

A review of the project and funding application by the World Bank’s reviewing consultant, Mr. N.C. Vasuki, indicates a high probability of funding for this project.  For example, an excerpt from Mr. Vasuki’s 06 June 2002, letter to the World Bank’s Bangkok office states that “the proposed project by KU, to utilize landfill gas (LFG) currently being emitted by the Kamphangsaeng Landfill Phase 1, is quite economically viable and, in fact, environmentally beneficial.  It will be an important step in assisting the Royal Kingdom of Thailand’s program for reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) in Thailand.”
