What fuel is produce in some landfills?
Bio gas (methane) is produced in landfills through the decay of plant matter. In some landfills methane gas is collected for use as fuel. Otherwise, methane is a significant greenhouse gas.
What type of gases do landfills give off?
methane
What type of gas which can be collected from landfills and burned for energy?
Methane.
Where is methane is found?
Methane can be found under the ground. The decay of organic matter, such as landfills, produce methane. Geological deposits deep under the ground also contain methane.
Do landfills cause acid rain?
Not really - the gases they give off are mainly methane.
How do landfills contribute to global warming?
Landfills typically release methane, which is a greenhouse gas produced from rotting organic matter, like food scraps and garden waste. Methane is a greenhouse gas twenty-one times more powerful than carbon dioxide.
What is most toxic greenhouse gas emission it is common around landfills and farms?
METHANE
What kind of natural gas is siphoned off from some landfills and burned to produce electricity?
Methane is commonly burned at landfills. It is not siphoned; it is a byproduct of decomposing materials inside the landfill. Since methane is lighter than air, it rises from the ground. Burning it keeps the landfill safe and is a great source of energy.
What potent greenhouse gas found in natural deposits and landfills?
Methane. It's also called natural gas.
What what happehs to food in landfills?
It breaks down very slowly, but in the absence of oxygen, it releases methane, a dangerous greenhouse gas.
What might happen to the methane that's not collected from landfills?
Methane gas is hard to collect and destroy in large quantities. The gas that isn't collected will most likely rise and damage the o-zone layer. (Methane is a main cause of global warming).
Do landfills lead to landfill gas?
Yes.(Another contributor wrote:)Methane (CH4) from anaerobic decomposition is the major Greenhouse gas of concern from landfills although some carbon dioxide (CO2) is also produced.
