ABSTRACT
Methane gas (CH4) is one of the main Greenhouse Gases (GHG), after carbon dioxide (CO2) which contributes greatly to global warming. The presence of methane gas in the atmosphere increases ± 0.6% per year. In the final processing stage of waste at the landfill in conditions without oxygen (anaerobic), the waste that is stockpiled will produce methane gas (CH4). Landfill Basirih is the only TPA serving the City of Banjarmasin, with the waste coming in every day continuing to increase and has the potential to generate emissions. The aim of this study is to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from biological waste management activities and from waste collection activities, as well as analyzing a comparison of the increase in GHG emissions based on an inventory of the last 10 years at the Basirih TPA. The method used in this research is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) method. In 2021 the processing of biological waste at the Basirih TPA will produce 0.00584 Gg/year of GHG emissions and 0.38876 Gg/year of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from waste collection activities. The average amount of increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the last 10 years is 0.02615 Gg/year with a percentage of 13.01 % / year.
