Calculating Carbon Emission Effect of Waste Management Activities

Edmonton’s LFG Capture System
In operation at Clover Bar Landfill since 1992,
current LFG flow is about 65,000 standard m 3 /day,
with average CH 4 content of 52%.
2011 data:
City Scholl Canyon model calculated 8,122 tonnes CH 4
generated.
Capital Power recorded 6,384 tonnes CH 4 captured.
Net emissions difference, counting flaring/power
generation and cover oxidation = 32,848 tonnes CO 2 -e.*
