Assessing the effects of compaction and saturation on diffusion and diffusive fractionation of methane: Towards and improved quantification of methane oxidation in landfill cover soil

A considerable contribution to the greenhouse effect originates from landfills. This contribution originates from the degeneration of waste in the landfill. The gas which is created during the degeneration consists of 40 to 60% methane. One mole of methane has a global warming potential which is 28 times higher than that of carbon dioxide....
