“…The characterization of the abandoned final disposal site, their coverage area and some topographic features was carried out through of Geographic Information Systems through analy-sis of satellite images with the use of remote sensing techniques [14] using free-form satellite photographs from Google Earth (using available photographs from the years 2002, 2013 and 2023) with a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach (which is an analytical technique that allows the identification of various solutions to a problem, mainly using cartographic variables as starting data.) [16], and using data available in the literature…”

“…With Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that use remote sensing techniques [14] the final disposal sites and their facilities have been georeferenced [14] and through spatial data [15] its characteristics (topography and vegetal cover) the foregoing is possible using Google Eart satellite images [16]. As Susunaga et al, in 2022 who carried out an investigation using this methodology and determined the characteristics of the uncontrolled final disposal sites of the Sotavento Region in the state of Veracruz, Mexico [13].…”

The Abandoned Sanitary Landfill of the City of Veracruz, located to the north of the municipality, was built in the year 2000 and operated according to the regulations in force at the time, for a useful life of 10 years. However, it continued its operation irregularly, collapsing and becoming a controlled final disposal site that was closed by the state environmental authorities in 2019. Through the use of Google Earth satellite images using multicriteria techniques, it was determined that it has an area of 167 228 m² and an accumulated volume of waste of 1 505 052 m³. The Mexican Biogas Model 2.0 was used to estimate the generation of biogas that until the year 2023 was a total of 2 898 064 tons of biogas, and with the help of the methodology for the greenhouse effect calculation for urban solid waste, it was determined that in this same period a total of 2 522 057.3 tons of carbon dioxide, 1 162 154.8 tons of methane, and 47 115.9 tons of nitrous oxide were emitted. This represents a total of 47.5 Mt CO2 eq., which underscores the importance of minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and their impact on the environment due to global warming of the atmosphere, especially in the coastal ecosystem where the municipality of Veracruz, Mexico is located.
