The Government of Canada invests in cleaning up Canada's landfill emissions
These projects are for pilot-scale implementation of innovative monitoring and automation systems to reduce methane emissions at Canadian landfills.
- These projects are for pilot-scale implementation of innovative monitoring and automation systems to reduce methane emissions at Canadian landfills.
- Municipal solid waste landfills are responsible for almost one quarter of Canada's methane emissions, which are generated when biodegradable waste decomposes.
- The City of Vancouver received $75,000 to evaluate and compare the use of several technologies for monitoring landfill methane emissions.
- Successful demonstration of these technologies will provide Canadian landfill operators more tools to monitor landfill methane, identify leaks, and improve landfill gas recovery."
