There has recently been a marked increase in interest in detecting and quantifying emissions of the greenhouse gases (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) from landfills in North America and Europe. The primary drivers for this increased interest include: i) new and pending legislation requires demonstrated reductions in GHG emissions; ii) permits to expand existing facilities require more accurate estimates of emissions; iii) financial incentives in the form of emissions trading credits; iv) increased corporate responsibility enabling development of technologies to improve landfill gas capture and minimise GHG emissions.
