“…It entails removing CO2 from the environment by capturing more CO2 from the atmosphere than is released. Anaerobic digestion of organic solid waste is one of the mechanisms for sustainable development since it permits both the energy-efficient disposal of solid waste and the use of biogas (36). After combustion a lot of CO2s is released into the atmosphere, due to burning of organic materials.…”

A developing country such as India which is one of the most populous and rapidly industrialising country, now faces a compelling need to reduce its carbon emissions and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts. The needs for carbon storage in India are driven by several factors, including the country's heavy reliance on coal for energy, expanding urbanization, and increasing emissions from industrial sectors. These factors contribute to rising CO2 levels, air pollution, and climate-related vulnerabilities. Therefore, India must prioritize strategies to mitigate emissions. Which can be achieved with the help of carbon capture and storage techniques. This paper explores the specific needs and methods for carbon storage in India. The paper also stresses the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), and emphasizes the unique challenges and opportunities that India encounters on its path to sustainable carbon management. The topic of carbon storage is covered in detail, including both technical and natural options. Afforestation and reforestation initiatives are examples of nature-based solutions that can be used to boost the carbon sequestration in forests, wetlands, and agricultural fields. Also investigated as ways to improve terrestrial carbon storage are sustainable farming methods and soil carbon sequestration. Technology-based strategies like Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) are also taken into consideration. The study discusses the difficulties of implementing CCS technology widely in India as well as the promise of these technologies in capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power production facilities. This paper also discusses about the importance of integrated strategies that combine nature-based solutions, technological advancements, and policy incentives to achieve effective CCS in India. It further emphasizes the need for international collaboration, research, and investment to support India's efforts in addressing its carbon storage needs while advancing global climate goals. [1]

“…Methane is the second most potent anthropogenic GHG after carbon dioxide, with a global warming factor 32 times greater than that of CO 2 over the last 100 years [40]. A significant reduction in GHG emissions is the main goal of the United Nations in the Paris Agreement on Sustainable Development [41]. Therefore, European Union (EU) member states have committed to reducing GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 [42].…”

This research identifies the productivity of landfill gas actively captured at a municipal waste landfill site with a waste mass exceeding 1 million Mg from sectors in the operational and non-operational phases, considering meteorological conditions. Based on the analysis of landfill gas, including emissions and composition (CH4, CO2, O2, and other gases), the processes occurring demonstrate the impact of the decomposition of deposited waste on the activity of the deposit. With average monthly gas emissions exceeding 960,000 m3, the average content of CH4 (30–63%) and CO2 (18–42%) and the varied content of O2 (0.3–9.8%) in individual sectors of the landfill site were significant. The statistically significant relationship between CH4, CO2, and landfill gas emissions exhibited a noticeable decrease in methane content. Despite the abandonment of waste storage, a high correlation is present between the emission level and methane content (0.59) and carbon dioxide (0.50). In the operational part of the landfill, this relationship is also statistically significant but to a lesser extent; Spearman’s R-value was 0.42 for methane and 0.36 for carbon dioxide. The operational and post-operational phases of the municipal waste landfill demonstrated a noticeable impact from the amount of precipitation, relative humidity, and air temperature, on landfill gas productivity. The generally progressive decline in the activity of the waste deposit, which reflects a decreasing trend in the methane content of approximately 2% annually in the total composition of landfill gas, as well as the share below 50%, indicates the need only to utilise landfill without producing energy.
