Summary:This article proposes an analysis of the technical and economic feasibility of a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project for the generation of electricity through the use of biogas from landfill through the use of microturbine technology. In order to obtain the baseline and project scenarios, the methodology ACM-0001 was used, which is specific for the use of landfill biogas. For the economic viability analysis, the Net Present Value (NPV), the Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) and the Payback method were used. After the results, the methods of economic analysis indicated that its CDM project with microturbine is economically viable.
