Workshop: IWWG TG CLEAR: Methane oxydation systems in landfills
Chair / Presidente: J. Gebert (NL), M. Huber-Humer (AT)
In the last years, microbial methane oxidation systems have transitioned from state of research to state of the art, being implemented on large scale to mitigate residual landfill methane emissions. How to assess the oxidation potential of candidate materials in a time- and cost-effective way is still under discussion. Also, regulators permitting these gas treatment systems stipulate different methodological approaches and frequencies for monitoring system performance in the field. Sometimes, scientific research and with intensified monitoring accompanies system operation. The aim of this workshop is to discuss approaches assessing material performance before field implementation and approaches assessing system performance after implementation, thereby also providing an update of current insights into system performance and limiting factors.
