SESSION G12 / 13 October 2023 / 09:00 - 10:30
Workshop: Landfill gas management to meet methane reduction targets for 2030
Chair / Presidente: Peter Kjeldsen (DK)
EU has shown little progress over the last twenty years in reducing the overall methane emission from their waste disposal sites, despite straight rules were given in the 1999 Landfill Directive. EU made a Methane Strategy in 2020 in order to boost the reduction of methane emission in the most important sectors; the agricultural, waste and energy sectors. However, reports from the European Environmental Agency show that the overall emission does not changed much over the years. The scope of the workshop/session is to identify why European LFG management not has reach larger improvements, and discuss how we can boost the LFG management in respect to policies, emission measurement implementation and better mitigation technologies.
