Methane gas is a by-product of landfilling municipal solid wastes (MSW). Most of the global MSW is dumped in non …-regulated landfills and the generated methane is emitted to the atmosphere. Some of the modern regulated landfills attempt to capture and … methane annually, 70% of which is used to generate heat and/or electricity. The landfill gas situation in the US was used to …

the high organic content of GTW at 138 gVS/L, which was 626% higher than that of MWS (19 gVS/L). The methane potential of … added as a co-substrate in addition to MWS, the high methane potential and organic content of GTW resulted in significant … improvement in methane production during the anaerobic co-digestion of MWS, e.g. a 65% increase at the GTW loading of 5.5 gVS …
