Analysis of greenhouse gas generation models at household waste landfills for ecosystem applications

The control and minimization of greenhouse gas emissions is an important task modern ecology. One the sources gases landfills household waste (LHW). A special feature LHWs, as a source gases, complexity estimating emissions. fact that production (mainly methane) at LHW long process, time-consuming dependent on many factors. In particular, rate putrefaction organic depends environmental parameters, such temperature, humidity, precipitation patterns. Knowing estimates emissions, it possible to develop appropriate technology for their disposal, taking into account regional features location landfills. mathematical model formation LHWs required solve problem predicting from these Currently, there are several generally accepted models LHW. This paper reviews three main used in world practice: LandGEM, EPER-Germany, TNO terms universality applicability describing Siberia region. It was shown most promising LandGEM.
