Outline
1. Background for the projections What information did we use to estimate CH4
generation from landfills? – IPCC methodology– MSW only!
2. Key parameters• Activity data:
• Composition of the landfilled waste• Amounts landfilled: 1950-1990 and 1990-2005
• Methane recovery ratios• IPCC methane oxidation parameters: MCF & OX
3. Future workUnder contract with the European
Environment Agency
Background for the projections
• FOD Methane emission contributions using FOD, food waste

Background for the projections
• FOD• A modification of the IPCC spreadsheet • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) only !
The reason: An econometric model has been developed in the ETC/RWM, but for MSW only
