- The report “Reducing Methane Emissions from Landfills: The potential of biocover systems” was released by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition.
- The report highlights that biocover systems can effectively reduce methane emissions from landfills while improving air quality and public health.
- Biocovers are microbial systems that use naturally occurring bacteria to convert methane into less harmful carbon dioxide and water.
- They can mitigate up to 50 percent of methane emissions over a long period, making them useful for waste management.
- Landfills contribute about 11 percent of global human-made methane emissions, and methane has a very high global warming potential.
