Innovative Methods for Residual Landfill Gas Emissions Mitigation in Mediterranean Regions (LIFE RE Mida)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Background The generation of LandFill Gases (LFG), produced by the anaerobic decomposition of the organic waste fraction in landfills, is one of the main environmental challenges facing climate change mitigation. The waste management sector is the fourth largest sector in the EU-15 in terms of its contribution to total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; desp ...

UP-grading of landfillgas for lowering CO2 emissions (UPGAS-LOWCO2)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

Background Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the waste management sector account for around 3% of total emissions in the EU (2006 data). Emissions in the waste management sector are primarily a result of methane emissions from landfills, caused by the anaerobic break down of biodegradable materials. Methane emissions from the waste management sector fel ...

Greenhouse effect reduction from landfill gas (GHERL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2005, End date: May 30, 2008,

Background Solid waste disposal on land accounts for some 2.4% of total EU greenhouse gas emissions. The two main gases emitted are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) as a result of the biodegradation of carbon compounds by anaerobic methanogenic bacteria. The rate of CO2 and CH4 emission increases with the amount of biodegradable waste going to landf ...

ECVET system for no borders in the green Economy sector, supporting employability, adaptability and European mobility in VET Systems and Labour Market

Many different EU Recommendations highlight that, VET Systems are called to enhance the employability and adaptability of people, and to increase the mobility of learners and periods of learning abroad. At present, the lack of shared methods for the assessment, transfer, validation and recognition of learning outcomes, and the lack of flexibility of training solutions, are delaying the full integr ...
