(MTCO2E) - Results and Outcomes
- The overall objective of this project is to reduce methane emissions and to maximize energy recovery from existing landfills in Korea. Feasibility studies allow for assessing the energy potential/ methane reductions of from a given landfill. Feasibility studies can lead to landfill gas to energy project development. Landfill gas to energy projects both reduce methane, a greenhouse gas, and have positive impacts on local air quality.
