Landfilling of Waste: Biogas

Landfilling of Waste: Biogas is the third in a series of reference books which provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art and identify new directions in landfill technology and landfill research. As well as describing gas generation and composition, the book covers the environmental aspects, discusses gas production, extraction and transportation, treatment and utilization, emissions and safety, and ends with a selection of case studies.
