Landfill Gas Regulation Policy Intentions Paper, May 2008
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This new regulation, under the Environmental Management Act, is anticipated to come into effect on January 1, 2009. The Environmental Management Act, brought into force in July 2004, is a key environmental statute in British Columbia. Amendments to the Act, currently before the Legislature, would provide enabling powers to regulate the management of greenhouse gases. The proposed Landfill Gas Regulation will set out requirements for the capture of landfill gas and constituent greenhouse gases at applicable landfills under provincial jurisdiction.

Estimating Landfill Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Measured Ambient Methane Concentrations and Dispersion Modeling
Since municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills emit significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, there is considerable interest in quantifying surficial methane emissions from landfills. The authors propose a new and easier method by which to estimate methane emissions. The technique uses hundreds of ambient air VOC measurements taken within a landfill, as receptors, and solves the sta...
متن کاملLandfill Gas System Considerations at High-btu Landfills
There are generally three broad categories of landfill-gas-to-energy (LFGTE) projects: electric power generation, medium-BTU industrial fuel; and high-BTU pipeline gas. During initial feasibility studies, landfill owners and developers should weigh the advantages of each with regard to the technology, local markets, landfill conditions, and site proximity to potential users. There has been an i...
متن کاملEstimation and modeling of gas emissions in municipal landfill (Case study: Landfill of Jiroft City)
One of the major factors, contributing to the emission of greenhouse gases in the environment is generation of pollutant gases in municipal landfills. As for the design and building of a gas collecting system, it is necessary to properly estimate the amount and type of the landfill emissions. By means of LandGEM model, this study predicts the amount and type of the landfill gases, produced for ...

متن کاملFrom a Literature Review to an Alternative Treatment System for Landfill Gas and Leachate
This paper provides an alternative treatment system for landfill gas and leachate control in order to reduce the energy consumption and disposal cost, using the recycled landfill gas as the combustion promoter for incineration of the leachate. This study starts by providing a literature review to summarize and analyze different approaches being applied to landfill leachate treatment. Subsequent...
