“…The actual composition and quantity of landfill gas can vary significantly in space and time. The main reason why landfill gas is monitored and regulated by legislation and relevant standards is that its main components, methane, and carbon dioxide, are greenhouse gases whose negative effects on the environment are well known; however, methane is much more significant for climate change and therefore its removal from landfill gas is a priority [10,11].…”

METHODS OF LANDFILL GAS MANAGEMENT. THE CZECH REPUBLIC CASE STUDYThe European legislation sets targets for ending municipal waste to landfill. Despite this Europewide trend, almost half of the municipal waste generated in the Czech Republic has been landfilled in recent years. The composition of municipal waste, in particular the high content of biodegradable material, is the reason for landfill gas production. The management of landfill gas is one of the crucial elements of environmental protection in the landfilling process. The article focuses on the comparison of possible ways of landfill gas management at selected landfills in the Czech Republic.

“…A more detailed analysis of the obtained results allow to draw conclusion about how much the environmental performance of system B is increased by substituting the landfilling with the incineration and extension of the waste collection system. Also, the local and global environmental impacts can be distinguished [3].…”

The chapter presents the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method in the field of environmental management. The work shows how to use the results of environmental engineering tools or models as an input for the AHP method. Three case studies are presented: selection of the best municipal solid waste disposal system, assessment of the tap and bottled water consumption on the environment, and selection of the heat pump for the individual home. In the first case study, the AHP analysis was required to assess the environmental impact of waste disposal system. This was done by the use of Integrated Waste Management model (IWM-1), which delivered results aggregated, at the next step, into Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) categories. The obtained results were used in the AHP analysis to choose the best scheme for the waste disposal system. In the second case study, the AHP method was used to evaluate different patterns of water drinking. Obtained results help decision makers in assessing regional and individual environmental impact if the drinking pattern changes. Selected evaluation criteria were solid waste stream, energy consumption, carbon dioxide emission, and Ecoindicator 99 H/A points. The third case study presents the method of heat pump selection. The environmental performance criteria were developed using the criteria of the ecolabeling program. All three case studies are based on real data.
