“…Recent concepts in modern landfill management, incorporate sustainability indicators in their life cycle, when the beginning of the landfill, many techniques are tested to stabilize the amount of methane gas emissions, included estimations using linear and no-linear models [1]. Energy recovery is one of the indicators of sustainability for landfills, but these systems necessitates estimation of gas released and its energy potential, [2].…”

A municipal solid waste landfills are complex systems, because your waste in a landfill body has a large heterogeneous mixture, high levels of different organic and inorganic matter. Environmental problems are results about intense urbanization, but different solutions offered for alternatives mitigating the environmental impacts. These solutions are the best practices in the recovery of such wastes when disposed of in landfills. But recent concepts in modern landfill management, in the São Paulo City, incorporate strategies in their life cycle, so since the beginning of the landfill, different techniques have been tested to stabilize the amount of methane gas emissions and energy recovery. This work finds the perspective, sustainability electricity generation, these uses of landfill gas are divided into electricity generation and direct use. The scenery, study sustainability indicators are Bandeirantes Landfill, with application of fuzzy logic to estimate production methane for energy generation.

“…This study opted for an estimation technique that best fit the available data, considering regional waste characterization as a key variable, a factor not explored in previous Colombian studies. The calculation method proposed by Yedla (2005) was used to estimate the energy potential of biogas recovery in a landfill, based on total organic carbon, collection efficiency, and methane content of the collected gas [36].…”

Sustainable Development (SD) encompasses the enhancement of quality of life through social, economic, and environmental pillars. Biogas utilization from landfills (BUL) is a widely adopted technique in the United States and some European regions. However, myths persist regarding its implementation in Latin American and Caribbean countries, as well as in certain low-and middle-income economies. This article aims to assess the electricity generation potential in Colombia's major cities and highlight the significant contribution of BUL in achieving public policies objectives for SD and climate change mitigation. The study underscores that Colombia undervalues the potential of BUL when formulating public policies, overlooking its substantial impact in fulfilling at least 14 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“…The IPCC’s default value of R is 0 (IPCC, 2000), mainly because a gas collection and control system is a site-specific feature and is not common in developing countries (Islam, 2016; Kumar et al, 2014; Zuberi and Ali, 2015). The value of R will change over time, increasing as the wellfield grows and R can greatly increase after the placement of a final landfill cap (Oonk, 2012).…”

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) protocol for predicting national methane emission inventories from landfills was published 22 years ago in the 1996 Revised Guidelines. There currently exists a broad dataset to review landfill parameters and reported values and their appropriateness in use and application in a range of site-specific, regional, and national estimates. Degradable organic carbon (DOC) content was found to range from 0.0105 to 0.65 g C/g waste, with an average of 0.166 g C/g waste. The fraction of DOC that would anaerobically degrade (DOC ) was reported to range from 50-83%, whereas higher and lower values have been experimentally determined for a variety of waste components, such as wood (0-50%) and food waste (50-75%). Where field validation occurred for the methane correction factor, values were substantially lower than defaults. The fraction of methane in anaerobic landfill gas ( F) default of 50% is almost universally applied and is appropriate for cellulosic wastes. The methane generation rate constant ( k) varied widely from 0.01 to 0.51 y, representing half-lives from 1 to 69 years. Methane oxidation (OX) default values of 0 and 10% may be valid, but values greater than 30% have been reported for porous covers at managed sites. The IPCC protocol is a practical tool with uncertainties and limitations that must be addressed when used for purposes other than developing inventories.
