Lag time before start of gas production, lag = 0 years Note: GHG credits are not seen till the following year

Methane (density) - 1atm, 25C 0.6557 kg/m³ (25C,SP) Carbon dioxide (density) 1.7988 kg/m³ (25C,SP)

Kitchen Scraps Methane Generation Rate, k = 0.09 <- Locked Gas Production potential, Lo = 160 m³ CH4/tonne

Yard Waste Methane Generation Rate, k = 0.09 <- Locked Gas Production potential, Lo = 140 m³ CH4/tonne

Notes: Input values only in the shaded cells. (1) If the landfill selected does not have a landfill gas collection system, input zero as the Collection Efficiency for each year.
