Evaluating Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Banyuroto Landfill through the IPCC Landfill Gas Model

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Greenhouse gases (GHG) are one of the emerging pollution sources that cause climate change. The decomposition of organic material, primarily occurring in landfills, naturally emits greenhouse gases. Banyuroto landfill, located in Yogyakarta’s Kulonprogo Regency, is developing its facilities to expand its service to the community, including the newest international airport. The facility received an increased amount of waste, potentially leading to significant emissions of GHG. Using the IPCC landfill gas model, the study aims to evaluate GHG emissions from the Banyuroto landfill. The total GHG emissions in 2023 were 5.527 Gg CO2 e. The methane produced from the site is predicted to be in average of 5.725 Gg CO2 e/year in 2024-2029.
