Known unknowns – leakage and odours from landfills

Share our blog

Landfills are an eyesore, attractive only to seagulls, and – as we document in our new report – unpleasant (at least) for our environment. Key takeaways are:

1

Landfills are a significant source of Air Pollution – locally because of odours from leachates, globally because of emissions of methane.

2

As with the Gas Grid, ‘Known unknowns’ – fugitive emissions from the EU and U.K. gas grids, the regulatory approaches of the EU Commission and the UK Government have allowed operators to “mark their own homework”. As a result, the Known Unknowns are the true volumes of methane emissions and the extent of local ‘odour’ problems.

3

The technologies to measure, verify and report such pollution are well known, reliable and available.

4

‘Green’ technologies to replace the use of landfills are also well known, reliable and available.
