Landfill

 

Methane capture is a process that collects potent methane gas from decomposing organic landfill waste.  Preventing its release as a greenhouse gas, is crucial in protecting the environment.  Captured methane can be converted into renewable energy (electricity, heat, or vehicle fuel) through combustion or processing. This reduces odours, improves air quality, and creates a sustainable energy source. 
The primary concern with capped landfills is the production and potential escape of landfill gas (primarily methane and carbon dioxide) generated by decomposing waste. 


Once the landfill is capped, it enters a long period of comprehensive monitoring and maintenance.  This period can range from 30 to 60 years or longer. Monitoring and maintenance  focuses on three key areas: landfill gas, leachate, and the integrity of the cap itself. 
Gas build-up is caused by the breakdown of organic materials, producing methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and other gases, depending on the landfill’s content. The majority of the gas is produced during the working life of a landfill and for about 20 years after sealing and capping.  After this time the gases produced will reduce over time.
