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

The protocol outlines the methodology used to calculate emission reductions that result from the use of an aerobic landfill bioreactor. The protocol applies to landfills or landfill cells which are at capacity and will not be accepting more waste materials, and are covered. Rather than the content being left to decompose anaerobically and producing methane, wells are drilled to aerate the waste and recirculate leachate. The resulting carbon dioxide emissions are considered as biogenic. The protocol is written for the aerobic landfill bioreactor project developer and assumes the reader has some familiarity with or general understanding of waste management practices including aerobic composting and the operation of a landfill.
