The wide adoption of wastewater treatment processes and use of novel technologies for improvement of nitrogen and phosphorus removals from wastewater have been introduced to meet stringent discharge standards. Municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWWTPs) are one of major contributors to the increase in the global GHG emissions and therefore it is necessary to carry out intensive studies on quantification, assessment and characterization of GHG emissions in wastewater treatment plants, on the life cycle assessment from GHG emission prospective, and on the GHG mitigation strategies. Greenhouse Gas Emission and Mitigation in Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants summarizes the recent development in studies of greenhouse gas emissions (N2O, CH4 and CO2) in MWWTPs. It also summarizes the development in life cycle assessment on GHG emissions in consideration of the energy usage in MWWTPs. The strategies in mitigating GHG emissions are discussed and the book provides an overview for researchers, students, water professionals and policy makers on GHG emission and mitigation in MWWTPS and industrial wastewater treatment processes. The book is a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the water, climate, and energy areas of research. It is also a useful reference source for water professionals, government policy makers, and research institutes.

In the 21st century, management of municipal solid waste (MSW) continues to be an important environmental challenge facing the U.S. Climate change is also a serious issue, & the U.S. is embarking on a number of voluntary actions to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that can intensify climate change. By presenting material-specific GHG emission factors for various waste management options, this report examines how the two issues -- MSW management & climate change -- are related. The report's findings may be used to support a variety of programs & activities, including voluntary reporting of emission reductions from waste management practices. Charts, tables & graphs.

The Nordic Partnership Initiative on Upscaled Mitigation Action (NPI) supported developing countries in designing and implementing mitigation action and attracting funding from international climate finance and carbon markets. In Peru, the initiative focused on building readiness for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions in the municipal solid waste sector. It generated comprehensive information on the sector’s status and trends in terms of waste and emissions, mitigation potential and costs, and barriers to action. Mitigation plans for landfills were prepared, a robust information system developed, and policy reforms introduced for recognising waste as a valuable raw material. The NPI results have been integrated into national and local development plans and serve as valuable building blocks in the design and implementation of Peru’s mitigation pledges under the Paris Agreement.

Through the RE-Powering America's Lands Initiative1, the U.S. EPA promotes the reuse of potentially contaminated properties, landfills, and mining sites for renewable energy generation. EPA has identified several benefits for siting solar photovoltaics (PV) facilities on potentially contaminated lands and municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills, noting that these sites: May provide an economically viable reuse for sites that may have significant cleanup costs or low real estate development demand; May have environmental conditions that are not well suited for commercial or residential redevelopment; Can be developed in place of limited open space, preserving the land as a carbon sink and/or for other ecosystem services; Generally are located near existing roads and energy transmission or distribution infrastructure; May be adequately zoned for renewable energy; Can provide job opportunities in urban and rural communities; Can advance cleaner and more cost effective energy technologies; and May reduce the environmental impacts of energy systems (e.g., reduce greenhouse gas emissions). 2 EPA has screened more than 11,000 potentially contaminated sites and MSW landfills3 - covering nearly 15 million acres across the United States - for suitability to site renewable energy generation facilities, including utility-scale solar. Maps depicting the locations of these EPA tracked sites and their potential for supporting renewable energy generation can be found at: www.epa.gov/oswercpa/mapping_tool.htm. These maps enable users to view screening results for various renewable energy technologies at each site. In 1988, before municipal solid waste regulations in 40 CFR 258 were promulgated, there were an estimated 7,924 landfills in the U.S. In 2009, that number dropped to 1,908 landfills. The landfills that closed over the intervening years-plus portions of active landfills with closed cells-represent thousands of acres of real property that may be suitable for siting solar PV. At least one study estimates the area of closed landfills to be hundreds of thousands of acres. As part of the EPA mapping effort, over 1,600 of the country's landfills have been pre-screened for renewable energy potential.

As global waste generation increases at a rapid rate, there is a dire need for waste management practices such as collection, disposal, and recycling to protect from environmental pollution. However, developing countries generate two to three times more waste, resort to open dumps more often than developed countries, and are slower to integrate waste management standards. There is a need for studies that examine the waste generation and practices of countries that share similar economic backgrounds as they strive to implement successful waste management techniques. Sustainable Waste Management Challenges in Developing Countries is an essential reference source that discusses the challenges and strategies of waste management practices and the unique waste issues faced by developing countries that prevent them from achieving the goal of integrated waste management. While highlighting topics including e-waste, transboundary movement, and consumption patterns, this book is ideally designed for policymakers, legislators, waste company managers, environmentalists, students, academicians, and municipal planners seeking current research on the global waste management problem.

Sanitary Landfilling: Process, Technology, and Environmental Impact is a collection of essays that discusses the role of landfilling in solid waste management. The book presents the approach in the principles of landfilling and the basic biochemical processes in landfills. The text describes the landfill hydrology and leachate production. It discusses the design and construction of liner systems and the surface capping with natural liner materials. The section that follows describes the soil and refuse stability in sanitary landfills. The book will provide valuable insights for engineers, environmentalists, students, and researchers in the field of solid waste management.
