Question

Far away landfills utilize more energy. Explain.

Answer 1

Explanation:

What is Landfill Gas Energy?

Landfill gas energy is a very viable source of renewable energy and is a byproduct of the decomposition of organic material in solid waste, containing approximately 50 percent methane and 50 percent carbon dioxide, with less than one percent of non-methane organic compounds and small amounts of inorganic compounds. [1] When waste is first banked in the landfill, it goes under an aerobic stage of decomposition where small amounts of methane are generated before ultimately undergoing a year of anaerobic conditions where the waste is decomposed producing larger amounts of methane and carbon dioxide.
