ABSTRACT
Emitted gasses from the landfills are one of the significant sources of air pollution in India. Meanwhile, the reduction, control and recycling of such gasses is of great importance from hygienic and global perspectives. Pirana landfill site has been a dumping place for the past 37 years. The average amount of wastes disposed at the site is approximately 4000 Tons per day. The purpose of this study is calculation CH4 (Methane). Through gas-recovery and extracting energy from landfills with 75 percent efficiency, the generation rate of greenhouse gases will reduce to around 557,633 tons of CO2 equivalent in Ahmedabad.
