Contribution of climate-active emissions from man-made raw material landfills to environmental emissions

The study focuses on analyzing the emission of climate-active substances and developing a system for regulating greenhouse gas emissions in the Russian Federation in the context of global climate change. The study provides a comprehensive assessment of the structure of emissions of major greenhouse gases, with a detailed breakdown by sectoral sources. It also analyzes the dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions in Russia over the period 1990-2023, revealing a decrease of 33.8% without taking into account forestry and a decrease of 62.5% with its inclusion. The potential of the waste sector as a significant source of methane emissions (up to 65 million tons of CO₂-eq/year) has been studied. A comprehensive approach has been applied, including the use of IAEK-based calculation methods for monitoring, the analysis of data from the Rosgidromet observation network, and the evaluation of technological solutions for capturing and utilizing landfill gas. The economic efficiency of implementing methane utilization technologies at municipal solid waste landfills has been substantiated.
