CALCULATION OF METHANE EMISSIONS FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL GERMOVA USING IPCC METHOD

The paper presents an estimation of methane emission from deposited municipal solid waste in Germova landfill located in the Mitrovica Region for the years 2006–2019. Methane emission was calculated according to the methodology recommended by IPCC 2006, using default values. Within framework of...

description The paper presents an estimation of methane emission from deposited municipal solid waste in Germova landfill located in the Mitrovica Region for the years 2006–2019. Methane emission was calculated according to the methodology recommended by IPCC 2006, using default values. Within framework of the research, the following parameters were evaluated: population covered by the waste collection service in the region, amount of landfilled waste, landfill characteristics, and composition of landfilled waste and climate conditions of the region. Based on these parameters, the total amount of CH4 emitted from the landfill during 2006–2019 was estimated at 19.3 Gg or 485 Gg CO2 eq.
