How Landfill Methane Emissions Are Calculated
Landfillmethane(CH₄)emissionsaregeneratedwhenorganicwastedecomposes underanaerobic(oxygen-limited)conditions.Thecalculationofmethaneemissions followsastructuredmethodologythatconvertsorganicwastemassintomethane volume,thenintomethanemass,andfinallyintocarbondioxideequivalent(CO₂e) usingglobalwarmingpotential(GWP)factors.
Step 1 – Estimate Methane Generation (Volume Basis)
Organicwasteplacedinalandfillhasatheoreticalmethanegenerationpotential(L₀). Forexample,highlycomposableorganics:
•1tonneoforganicwaste→170m³CH₄
Thisvaluerepresentstheultimatemethanegenerationpotentialunderanaerobic conditions.
Step 2 – Convert Methane Volume to Methane Mass
Toexpressclimateimpact,methanevolumemustbeconvertedtomass.Atstandard temperatureandpressure(STP),thecommonlyuseddensityis:
•1m³CH₄≈0.716kgCH₄
170m³ × 0.716kg/m³=121.72kgCH₄per1,000kilogramsoffoodwaste.
Methane as a Potent Greenhouse Gas
Methane(CH₄)isoneofthemostpowerfulgreenhousegasescontributingtoclimate change.Althoughitremainsintheatmosphereforashorterperiodthancarbon dioxide(CO₂),itsheat-trappingcapacityissignificantlyhigherinthenearterm.Overa 20-yeartimeframe,methanehasaGlobalWarmingPotential(GWP20)approximately 87timesgreaterthanCO₂.Thismeansthatonetonneofmethaneemissionscanhave thesameshort-termclimateimpactas87tonnesofcarbondioxide.
