Outline

1. Background for the projections What information did we use to estimate CH4

generation from landfills? – IPCC methodology– MSW only!

2. Key parameters• Activity data:

• Composition of the landfilled waste• Amounts landfilled: 1950-1990 and 1990-2005

• Methane recovery ratios• IPCC methane oxidation parameters: MCF & OX

3. Future workUnder contract with the European

Environment Agency

Page 4: Use of FOD for estimation of methane emissions from municipal solid waste in the EU25: ‘Outlooks’

Background for the projections

• FOD Methane emission contributions using FOD, food waste

Background for the projections

• FOD vs massbalance: 15-35 years back needed

Page 8: Use of FOD for estimation of methane emissions from municipal solid waste in the EU25: ‘Outlooks’

Background for the projections

• FOD • A modification of the draft IPCC

spreadsheet

Page 9: Use of FOD for estimation of methane emissions from municipal solid waste in the EU25: ‘Outlooks’

Background for the projections

• FOD• A modification of the IPCC spreadsheet • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) only !

The reason: An econometric model has been developed in the ETC/RWM, but for MSW only

4 Key parameters

• Activity data:• Composition of the landfilled waste• Amounts landfilled: 1950-1990, 1990-

2005, and 2005 -2020

• Methane recovery ratio • Oxidation rates: MCF & OX

Future work in the ETC/RWM

1. Refinement of the 4 key parameters

2. Extension of the projections to: 1. Other landfilled organic waste fractions

1. Industrial waste 2. Sewage sludge

2. Other waste treatment technologies (composting, incineration)
