Long-term investigation of methane and carbon dioxide emissions in two Italian landfills.

ABSTRACT: Landfills play a key role as greenhouse gas (GHGs) emitters, and urgently need assessment and management plans development to swiftly reduce their climate impact. In this context, accurate emission measurements from landfills under different climate and management would reduce the uncertainty in emission accounting. In this study, more than one year of long-term high-frequency data of CO₂ and CH₄ fluxes were collected in two Italian landfills (Giugliano and Case Passerini) with contrasting management (gas recovery VS no management) using eddy covariance (EC), with the aim to i) investigate the relation between climate drivers and CO₂ and CH₄ fluxes at different time intervals and ii) to assess the overall GHG balances including the biogas extract
