Project Details
Description
The project's objective is to evaluate in situ landfill aeration for low-carbon content landfills in Denmark.
Key findings
Landfill aeration can accelerate waste stabilisation even with low organic content.
Layman's description
Landfill aeration is a technology that helps to reduce the amount of methane (CH4) emissions from landfills. This is important since CH4 is an important greenhouse gas and whose emissions can worsen the effects of climate change. Landfill aeration also can improve the quality of the leachate, this is, the water drained from the landfills and reduce the treatment requirements. This saves money and also reduces the environmental impacts of the landfill.
