Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from a landfill site using various thermal systems

Abstract

Global warming, which is a specific case of global climate change, refers to the increase in the average temperature of the atmosphere and oceans in recent decades, and the projected continuation of this increase. The drivers of climate change are seen as: changes in the atmospheric concentrations of GHGs and aerosols, land cover, and solar radiation (IPCC, 2007). According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007), most of the increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is linked to the observed increase in the anthropogenic GHG concentrations.
