Abstract:
The paper will be presented the most commonly used mathematical models for calculation of CH4 emissions. Landfill gas (LFG) is produced by microbial decomposition of waste and takes place in several stages. LFG is composed of CH4, CO2, and non-methane organic compounds that often contain dangerous and volatile organic substances. Assessment of creation and LFG emissions is important with respect to the significant contribution to emissions of greenhouse gasses, as well as for the design of the system for collecting landfill gas, determine the number of wells, pipe size, type and power of the gas compressor, etc. Also, according to the Protocol on the European register of pollutant release and transfer of substances (Protocol on pollutant release and transfer register) fall into landfill facilities that can monitor the discharge of pollutants. Assessment of the creation of LFG can be made by using mathematical models and methods for direct measurements.
