The long shadow of landfills

Methane emissions from landfills are often underestimated in European climate policy, even though they have a significant impact on the climate for decades. The study "Methane emissions from Europe's landfills", conducted by Prognos and the Ifeu Institute and initiated by Kanadevia Inova uses a scenario-based modelling approach to analyse future methane emissions from the landfilling of municipal waste in the EU-27 and the UK.
