Abstract |
The report describes the development of a statistical regression model used for estimating methane (CH4) emissions, which relates landfill gas (LFG) flow rates to waste-in-place data from 105 landfills with LFG recovery projects. The model has three linear segments, each of which applies to a distinct landfill size class. Assumptions were required to account for the recovery efficiency of LFG projects and for the probable oxidation of CH4 in the top soil cover of the landfill. The report details uncertainties which limit the quality of the above estimates. The report concludes with a discussion of trends which will affect future LFG emissions, as well as LFG utilization. |
