A landfill cell is open for 5 years, receiving solid waste of 250,000 tonnes/year.
Calculate the methane gas production for each year during the first five years of the
landfill life. The landfill gas emission constant is 0.0307 per year and methane
generation potential is 140 m³/tonne. Estimate the peak gas production within the 5
years. The following formula may be applicable:
Qr= 2 k Lo Miekti
