“…Similarly, the degradation of organic matter into methane occurs in five phases as reported elsewhere (Abushammala, Basri, & Kadhum, ; ATSDR, ; Noor et al., ; Veeken, Kalyuzhnyi, Scharff, & Hamelers, ; Williams, ; Xiaoli et al., ). They are Phase I (hydrolysis/aerobic degradation), Phase II (decomposition), Phase III (acidogenesis/acetogenesis), Phase IV (methanogenesis), and Phase V (oxidation).…”

“…Two gases found to account for this temperature increase are CO 2 and methane CH 4 (Xiaoli et al., ). Although the concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere is higher than that of CH 4, the latter is 21–25 times more powerful in its greenhouse effects than CO 2 (Talyan, Dahiya, Anand, & Sreekrishnan, ; Warmuzinski, ) and contributes 20% of the global GHG effect (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], ; Wuebbles & Hayhoe, ).…”

An assessment of potential biomass resources in Nigeria for the production of methane and power generation is presented in this paper. Nigeria, as an underdeveloped and populous country, needs an uninterrupted source of energy. The country's energy problems have crippled large sectors of the economy. The percentage of people connected to the national grid is 40%. These 40% experience electricity supply failure on average 10–12 hours daily. Energy generation from municipal solid waste (MSW) is an effective MSW management strategy. Yearly waste generation has increased from 6,471 gigagrams (Gg) in 1959 to 26,600 Gg in 2015. This amount is projected to reach 36,250 Gg per year by 2030. Methane emission for 2015 was 491 Gg, and it is projected to reach 669 Gg in 2030. These values translate to 3.48 × 109 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity for 2015, with a projected 4.74 × 109 kWh by 2030. The revenue to be derived from the electricity that is generated could have been US$365.04 × 106 for 2015, and it is estimated that it will reach US$473.82 × 106 by 2030. It was found that methane emissions from MSW increased with time, and capturing this gas for energy production will lead to a sustainable waste management.

“…The C� potential depends on many variables like quantity and quality of biodegradable material, segregation level, microbial benign environment, volatile solids availability, warmth and moisture content [45,46]. Methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas, has enormous global warming potential which has 23 fold warming potential than that of CO2.…”

Air, water and soil contamination is the major source generated from municipal solid wastes. In current scenario air, water, and soil are polluted because of the uninhibited decomposition of solid wastes. The systematic treatment of municipal solid wastes leads to the economical source of energy. Appropriate municipal waste management (MSW) strategy be implemented to minimize environmental impact and subsequent energy recovery. In this mini review report we have discussed about the technological aspects of energy production from MSW. Overall energy potential and future prediction has also been reported.

“…Oliveira (2004) esclarece que as plantas arbustivas e arbóreas apresentam maior dificuldade de se estabelecerem sobre os aterros sanitários, pois possuem raízes mais profundas e desta forma sofrem maior influência do ambiente. Muitas observações sobre o crescimento da vegetação em camadas superficiais do solo de aterro sanitário mostram que o crescimento da planta é severamente inibido pela presença de concentrações elevadas de gases na zona das raízes (XIAOLI et al, 2010).…”

O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar a regeneração natural através do levantamento florístico das espécies herbáceas, arbustivas e arbóreas ocorrentes sobre uma célula encerrada de resíduos sólidos urbanos do Aterro Sanitário de Caucaia (ASMOC). O trabalho envolveu (i) contagem e identificação das espécies, (ii) coleta de flores, folhas, sementes para montagem de um catálogo, (iii) comparações visuais entre as espécies encontradas em herbários, (iv) verificação se os exemplares vegetais encontrados na área estudada estão ou não inclusos na lista das espécies vegetais do levantamento florístico do recente Estudo de Impacto Ambiental - EIA da ampliação do ASMOC. Foram identificados vegetais de 22 espécies, com exemplares da Caatinga e de outros biomas. Contribuíram para existência de tal diversidade (i) o tempo de encerramento da célula (aproximadamente 20 anos) e suas múltipas transformações físicas, químicas e biológicas; (ii) a presença de sementes nos resíduos sólidos domiciliares; (iii) a presença de diversas sementes nos solos provenientes das atividades da limpeza urbana realizada em Fortaleza e Caucaia (Ceará), especialmente na poda, raspagem e capina, depositados sobre a célula estudada durante alguns anos; (iv) a presença de remanescentes naturais nos arredores do ASMOC permitindo o aporte de sementes por meios bióticos e abióticos; (v) o transporte de sementes de locais diversos pelo movimento de pessoas e veículos; (vi) a ocorrência de regime de chuvas (média do período) de 1.319 mm anuais no município.
