TESTING A SIMPLE AND LOW COST METHANE EMISSION MEASUREMENT METHOD

According to the E-PRTR Regulation (EC) 166/2006 (CEC, 2006), facilities undertaking an activity listed in Annex I of the IPPC Directive and exceeding the specific threshold values laid down in Annex I of the E-PRTR Regulation have to report their emissions to air and water. Emissions can be determined either by measurement, calculation or estimation. Landfills receiving more than 10 tonnes per day or with a total capacity exceeding 25,000 tonnes, have to report both emissions to water and emissions to air. According to the E-PRTR guidelines methane emissions occurring during landfill activities should either be measured in situ, calculated by methane emission models or estimated by field experts.

From 2007 onwards the E-PRTR regulation will be in effect. According to the EPRTR guidelines methane emissions occurring during landfill activities should either be measured in situ, calculated by methane emission models or estimated by field experts. Models have shown large deviation in methane emissions and can therefore not be solely depended on. Quantification of methane emission by measurement is currently considered too expensive. Development of simple and cost effective measurement methods could enhance accuracy of estimations. The paper discusses the development of a simple and cost effective methane emission methodology performed on two European landfills. Furthermore the results obtained and costs associated with the new and simple method are evaluated and compared to dynamic plume methods.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
