Abstract

Purpose: A resource circulation management system can be established by operating and managing power generation facilities using landfill gas, and economic feasibility can be confirmed through the impact of landfill gas on climate change and the absolute value that can be used as a resource. Research design, data and methodology: After investigating the generation of landfill gas by visiting Nanjido and metropolitan landfill sites in Seoul, the environmental impact and economic evaluation can be conducted through the emission coefficient of whether it can be used as an energy resource. Results: Currently, the Nanji landfill was completed in 1993 and is being used as a Nanji camping site after stabilization work such as cover and water curtain was completed to solve environmental problems that have occurred. The Seoul metropolitan area landfill was selected after the completion of the Nanji landfill, and the landfill has been underway so far, and unlike Nanji landfill, it aims to implement eco-friendly treatment facilities. Conclusions: Waste generated in future generations also inevitably needs to be disposed of, so you can expect an optimized management plan to reduce the disgust of local residents and maximize the need by changing the perception of landfill as an eco-friendly space rather than a simple waste disposal facility.
