Report Code : 11017 | Publish Date : Upcoming | Industry : Chemicals_Materials | Geography : North America


Landfill gas is a mixture of different gases produced by the action of microorganisms within a landfill as they decompose organic waste, including for instance, paper waste and food waste. Landfill gases have an impact on climate change. The main components are methane and carbon dioxide, both of which are greenhouse gas. Landfill gases are the result of three major processes such as evaporation of volatile organic compounds, chemical reactions between waste components and microbial action, particularly methanogenesis. The first two processes are depending strongly on the nature of the waste.
