Using landfill gas: A UK perspective
Brown, Keith A.; Maunder, David H. - In: Renewable Energy 5 (1994) 5, pp. 774-781
Landfill gas (LFG) is a flammable and potentially harmful mixture of methane, carbon dioxide and a large number of trace constituents produced when waste decays in landfills. The need to prevent harm from LFG emissions has been recognised since the 1970s, and is now enshrined in site...

Comparative study on EGR and lean burn strategies employed in an SI engine fueled by low calorific gas
Lee, Sunyoup; Park, Seunghyun; Kim, Changgi; Kim, Young-Min - In: Applied Energy 129 (2014) C, pp. 10-16
In this study, a naturally aspirated spark ignition engine fueled by low calorific gas (LCG) was tested in both exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and lean burn modes, and the effects of these modes on engine performance and combustion and emission characteristics were evaluated and compared. The...
