Landfill; Landfill Gas; Methane; Greenhouse Gas; Emission Trading; Climate ChangeAbstract
In this study the landfill gas utilization project case in the Volkhonka landfill in Russia is
presented. The carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere from landfills with and without
landfill gas collection systems are estimated and also emissions of certain fuels are calculated.
According to the results of the study, the utilization project might be very profitable if the
circumstances are suitable.
