Municipal solid waste landfills have gradually evolved to engineered, anaerobic, dry-tomb facilities designed to protect the environment. They present, however, long-term liabilities that require decades of care. Aerobic bioreactor technology achieves rapid stabilization of waste and offers many advantages over conventional sites, including the elimination of methane, a major greenhouse gas. The ...

Landfills are an excellent source of methane-rich gas that can be used to generate renewable power. Methane is produced at a landfill as trash decomposes and can be used as fuel for a gas generator to produce electricity. Since 1986, the City of Santa Clara had successfully done this, and had been able to export power to a local utility. However, over time, gas production at a closed landfill ...
