  4. 1.3 MW Lean-Burn Engine Power plant in Bergen, Norway Project Example: Grid Projects Landfill gas fuelled power plant using a lean-burn engine • Bergen, Norway • 1.3 MW • US$ 0.03/kWh • 37% efficiency Photo credit: CADDET Centre for Renewable Energy Photo credit: CADDET Centre for Renewable Energy

  5. Conclusions • RETScreen’s Engineering Tools are accessible from within the software on the Tools worksheet • Landfill Gas calculator is a companion tool which is automatically linked to the software when landfill gas is chosen as a fuel type • Other Engineering Tools provide a quick way to add detail or provide secondary information to your RETScreen project (e.g. Biogas) • You can customize and extend by building your own tools
