Landfills are breeding grounds for anaerobic bacteria and produce large amounts of methane. Greenhouse Effect of methane is stronger than carbon dioxide, and although it can be captured and converted into energy, up to 10% of methane escapes even in the most efficient recycling systems. Since most of the methane produced by landfills comes from organic waste, it can be treated in a greener way, the easiest way is composting. In fact, 2/3 of the waste in landfills can be composted, which greatly reduces methane production. Due to high temperature and high pressure during composting, carbon in organic waste may be partially converted into carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. So we can consider reassembling these organic compounds into liquid fuels (ethanol or methanol) or as other industrial raw materials.
