Abstract
The waste sector contributes 21 times more Greenhouse Gas (GHG) in the form of methane gas than carbon dioxide gas. The problem of waste management in Indonesia is caused by several factors, including the need for more strict regulations and a management system at the landfill. Gunung Kupang Final Processing Site is a landfill that serves the Banjarbaru City area, where the waste that enters every day continues to increase and can potentially cause emissions. The management system implemented is still limited, namely composting and recycling methods. The management of methane gas produced from waste generation has not been maximized because there has yet to be a comprehensive measurement of methane gas. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of waste generation and composition and the estimation of methane gas from the Gunung Kupang Final Processing Site using the LandGEM method. The urgency of measuring methane gas in waste management at Gunung Kupang Final Processing Site is the focus of this research, which is projected to encourage local governments to formulate appropriate and targeted waste management policies.
