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.
