Contribution of project activity to sustainable development:
The long-term strategic objective of the project is to contribute to better waste management and to capture GHG-emissions from the landfill site. By this way, emissions of other gases, such as H2S, mercaptenes and other odorous compounds are reduced too, which leads to a cleaner environment in the surroundings of the landfill. Proven by scientific research, today it is well-known that after closure of landfills, emissions of landfill gas to the atmosphere do not stop but continue. Only organized and careful landfill gas collection and utilization can reduce the unwished local and global impact and can improve the ecological situation by guarantying:
- Abatement of methane emissions;
- Elimination of odorous gas emissions that affect the public health and quality of life. Bad odours can cause local health problems, negatively affect investment in the surrounding communities and lower property values and it's socio economic status;
- Reduction of explosion and fire risk.
- Reduction of methane migration destroying vegetation near or on the rehabilitated landfill compartments and compartments in operation.
- Improvement of mineralisation of the waste body leading to reduction of leachate generation and decrease of leachate seeping into the ground
The proposed project faces a number of market barriers, of which economic unattractiveness, lack of technical know-how and lack of availability of equipment are the most important. The implementation of this project will assist the Russian Federation in demonstrating the practice of landfill gas recovery.
