Since, <strong>the</strong> Danish SWDSs are well-managed it is assumed that 10% of <strong>the</strong> CH 4 produced by <strong>the</strong><br />

waste is oxidised (OX = 0.1; refer GPG page 5.10) and a fur<strong>the</strong>r consequence of <strong>the</strong> SWDSs being<br />

managed is that a methane correction factor of 1 is used (GPG page 5.9, Table 5.1). Fur<strong>the</strong>r, as <strong>the</strong><br />

fraction of DOC dissimilated is used 0.50, which is considered good practice (GPG page 5.9). Finally,<br />

<strong>the</strong> fraction of CH 4 in landfill gas is taken as 0.45 (GPG page 5.10). These parameters lead to<br />

<strong>the</strong> calculation of a “general emission factor” for DOC as shown in Table 8.4.<br />

Combining Table 8.3 and Table 8.4 give emission factors for waste types, Table 8.5.<br />

Column (2) is column (1) multiplied by emf for DOC ( = 0.27 )<br />

“O<strong>the</strong>r Combustible” varies in DOC-fraction according to ISAG waste types.<br />

Unit of column (2) is “fraction”. Example: 1 tonnes of waste food: 54 kg of CH4 is emitted<br />

The emission estimates are build upon a composition of <strong>the</strong> deposited waste, as shown in Table<br />

8.6, and which are according to Danish investigations.<br />
