Figure 10.8: Global CH4 emissions from landfills in baseline scenario compared to the following mitigation scenarios: increased incineration, CDM ending by 2012 (end of the first Kyoto commitment period), increased recycling, and high landfill CH4 recovery rates including continuation of CDM after 2012 (Monni et al., 2006). The emission reductions estimated in the mitigation scenarios are largely additional to 2050. This figure also includes the US EPA (2006) baseline scenario for landfill CH4 emissions from Delhotal et al. (2006).
