Abstract
There are many technologies for converting waste to energy, including municipal solid waste, the degradation of which entails release of landfill gas. To prevent air pollution and further increase of the greenhouse effect, it is necessary to solve the problem of collecting and utilizing landfill gas, the components of which (methane and carbon dioxide) affect significantly the climate change. In the majority of cases, the environmental conditions in the Chelyabinsk region call for improvement, which in frequent cases is stemming from the problems related to landfills. Due to the long periods of time taken for municipal solid waste to degrade in a natural way and a constant growth of their volumes at landfills, it is necessary to assess the prospects of a system for collecting and utilizing the released landfill gas with taking into account climatic and economic factors, as well as the profitability of generating heat and electricity at landfills for which reclamation measures are planned.
