Gelderland has four active and nearly 800 former landfill sites. Sites that are no longer in active use can still produce landfill gas and greenhouse-gas emissions. Monitoring and emission reduction therefore remain relevant after disposal activities have ended.
In the Gelderland climate analysis, landfill management is part of the regional climate task. Possible routes include monitoring and capturing landfill gas and reducing organic waste streams that can form methane over time. The figures show why former sites still require attention.
