Emission assessment at the Štepánovice municipal landfill focusing on CO2 emissions

Emission concentrations from the landfill Štěpánovice have been examined. Measurements were carried out in the years 2004–2011. The results of the study were used to diagnose the emissions of CO2 as important landfill gas components. They indicate that the concentration of CO2 emissions and the annual sum of these emissions do not exceed the reporting thresholds and therefore, the landfill does not meet conditions for being included in the integrated register of polluters.
