There is provided techniques for determining an estimate of gas emissions in a landfill. Some techniques provide for obtaining a plurality of measures and determining an estimate of methane emissions by using a gas emissions model to process the plurality of measures, and outputting the estimate of methane emissions. The plurality of measures may include emissions measurements such as methane emissions and/or measures of at least one environmental characteristic such as wind speed and/or direction, turbulence, and/or atmospheric stability. The estimate of gas emissions may be displayed and/or used to determine whether to cause a corrective action to be performed, such as adjusting a flow rate of landfill gas being extracted from the landfill.
A control system for determining an estimate of gas emissions in a region of a landfill, the region comprising a plurality of gas collection points, each of the plurality of gas collection points comprising a gas extraction well, the control system comprising:
A method for determining an estimate of gas emissions in a region of a landfill, the region comprising a plurality of gas collection points, each of the plurality of gas collection points comprising a gas extraction well, the method comprising:
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon, that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for determining an estimate of gas emissions in a region of a landfill, the region comprising a plurality of gas collection points, each of the plurality of gas collection points comprising a gas extraction well, the method comprising:
