Does anyone have recent data or studies relating to the capture rate of methane from landfills? As we expand our food scrap diversion programs we have received criticism that we are stealing fuel from a co-generation facility at our regional landfill. I realize that in dry tomb landfills, any reduction of methane from removing food scraps is negligible due to the rapid decomposition of food scraps. This has been answered by critics who state that the latest landfill and methane recovery technology does capture methane from food scraps and all of the methane generated by a landfill. I have read one study that states: despite claims of 70-75% recovery rates, the actual amount being recovered is more like 20%. Can anyone direct me to additional information to back up this data?
