Description

This protocol covers landfills or landfill cells which are at capacity, will not be accepting more waste materials and are covered. Rather than the content of these landfills or landfill cells decomposing anaerobically and producing methane, wells are drilled for the purposes of aerating the waste and recirculating leachate. Conditions are maintained to support aerobic decomposition of the waste. The resulting carbon dioxide emissions are considered as biogenic.

Description

Anaerobic decomposition of organic waste materials in a landfill generates gases that contain approximately 60 per cent methane, a greenhouse gas (GHG). The amount of methane emitted from a landfill can be reduced through the installation of landfill gas capture and combustion technology to convert the methane to carbon dioxide. Combustion with energy recovery further reduces GHG emissions by displacing fossil fuel sourced energy to generate heat and electricity. This document presents the methodology for quantifying methane emission reductions which result from the use of one or both of these methods of reducing methane emissions.

Quantification protocol for agricultural nitrous oxide emission reductions. Draft version 1.1

The scope of this protocol is limited to on-farm reductions of emissions from nitrogen sources and fuel use associated with the management of synthetic fertilizer, manure fertilizer and crop... More ≫

Description

The scope of this protocol is limited to on-farm reductions of emissions from nitrogen sources and fuel use associated with the management of synthetic fertilizer, manure fertilizer and crop residues. Greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions associated with carbon sequestration in the soil and off-site emission reductions affected by the manufacture and distribution of nitrogen fertilizers are excluded from the protocol. The exclusion of off-site reductions of fertilizer manufacturing increases conservativeness in emission reduction calculations and limits the scope of quantification to those sources, sinks and/or reservoirs for which data are readily available.
