Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Characteristics and Behaviour of Landfill Biocovers

Landfill gas (LFG) which mainly consists of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2); is produced by the biodegradation of organic waste in landfills. CH4 is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential (GWP) 23 to 25 times that of CO2. Landfills are one of the significant sources of anthropogenic...
