Landfill Gas Emissions
Landfill Gas Emissions: Sources, Monitoring and Engineering Control
Landfill gas emissions are one of the most important indicators of how effectively a landfill is being managed. Methane escaping through a damaged cap, an inadequately controlled tipping area, leaking wellhead connections or an underperforming gas extraction system represents more than a greenhouse gas problem. It may indicate defects in the containment system, inadequate gas […]

The Environment Agency (EA) ensures that all licensed (closed) or permitted landfill sites which contain landfill gas are regulated to ensure that emissions are kept to a minimum. This is enforced either under the pollution prevention and control (PPC) […]
