Türkiye'deki Katı Atık Deponi Alanlarında Oluşan Gazın Çevresel ve Ekonomik Açıdan İncelenmesi

Abstract

Due to the rapid population growth, urbanization and technological improvements in our century, waste generation is increasing significantly. In order to prevent harmful environmental effects of these waste, suitable methods should be applied in compliance with relevant regulations. In this respect, sanitary landfilling is the most commonly applied controlling method both in our country and all around the world. During the stabilization of the solid waste collected in landfills, landfill gas with high energy potential accumulates over time with biochemical decomposition of the organic compounds in the waste. Since the energy demand is increasing in the last decades, number of the studies on energy recovery from landfill gas are increasing in all around the world.In addition to harmful environmental impacts, landfill gas has also significant greenhouse gas impact because of high rate of methane content in the composition.
