LANDFILL GAS CLIMATE IMPACT CALCULATOR

Landfills emit significant amounts of gas over a long period of time, with small landfills emitting up to 400 cubic meters of gas per hour and larger landfills emitting up to 10,000 cubic meters of gas per hour. These emissions continue for several years after the landfill closes and doesn’t receive any more waste, in most cases for more than 30 years.

Landfill gas (LFG) consists mainly of about 40 to 50% CH4 and 40 to 45% CO2. The landfill gas should be collected to gain energy, to prevent smoldering fires and deflagration, to reduce bad odor and protect the climate.

The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of methane is between 25 and 30 times higher than the CO2. By flaring (burning) the gas, hundreds of millions of tons of CO2-equivalents are not released into the atmosphere.

Integrated Landfill Solutions

Landfill Gas Management

Transform your landfill into a safe environment for workers and residents

Our standard modular gas plants are the ideal solution for typical landfill gas with methane concentration between 5% and 55%.

Landfill Cogeneration Systems

Turn your landfill gas into heat and electricity

Electricity and heat can be produced in quantities sufficient for self utilization, becoming self sustainable and not using any external resources.

Landfill Leachate Treatment Systems

Protect the integrity of your ground water

Landfill leachate belongs to the most harmful industrial waste waters. It is particularly high in salt, heavy metal and non-biodegradable contents.

Landfill Odor Reduction Systems.

Reduce the odor with carefully chosen odor control solutions

The smell coming from landfill sites can be managed using different techniques that remove the odor from the air.

Consulting and Engineering

Expertise that’s rooted in decades of experience

We offer a wide range of consulting & engineering services that build upon experience that our employees have gained working in the industry.

Off-Grid Landfill Management

Our complete, self-sustainable solutions for the management of off-grid landfills

Our latest innovation called Auttonomous™ – the first ever solution that is capable of managing the gas and leachate for off-grid landfills.

International Partners

We have a worldwide and always growing network of partners and representatives from commercial and technical support issues.

Biogas Flares

For any situation in which biogas cannot be utilized, our flares are the ultimate solution for reliable and safe gas disposal

Biogas Cogeneration Systems

Through our cogeneration solutions, biogas can be turned into heat and electricity, which can be used on-site or sold to third parties.

CO2 Trapping and Liquefaction

In the process of biogas upgrading, CO2 is usually separated from the biomethane and vented to the atmosphere along with a fraction of the biomethane.

Biogas Upgrading

Together with our partner Prodeval, we offer the leading membrane based VALOPUR® Biogas upgrading technology.
