emissions from waste question

Posted by Morgan White on May 21, 2014

Hello SWATeam,

Can we talk about the GHG emissions from waste being sent to the landfill(s) please?  Take a look at this complicated emissions calculator.

The Input screen shows that the landfilled waste is going to a methane capture landfill (“Brickyard”).  The “ACUPCC Reporting” screen shows that emissions from solid waste is NEGATIVE 172 MT CO2e. 

I wonder.  How much of the methane is actually collected at that landfill?

Thanks,

Morgan
