TECHNIQUES FOR MONITORING LANDFILL GAS EMISSIONS: SURFACE EMISSION MONITORING

Ramon Rivera05 Apr, 2022Business

Several different technologies can be used to measure landfill gas emissions. But it is important that landfill operators find the most cost-effective and effective method for their site. Since methane forms the largest component of landfill gas, it is also the primary gas found in LFG emissions. Methane is also a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate warming. Monitoring methane emissions will give an indication as to how much landfill gas is being emitted from a site, in terms of both methane and total LFG emissions.
