SCS Engineers Central America LFG Model Version 1.0 User's Manual
The Central America LFG Model is an Excel spreadsheet tool developed by SCS Engineers under contract to the U.S. EPA's Landfill Methane Outreach Program. It is designed to estimate landfill gas generation and recovery rates for landfills in Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. The model utilizes a first-order decay equation based on site-specific data such as refuse disposal rates, precipitation, and collection efficiency, while providing default values for waste composition and generation constants (k and L0) specific to each country.
Covers: Introduction · Landfill Gas Generation · Landfill Gas Recovery · Model Inputs · Estimating Collection Efficiency · Model Outputs / Table

How does the model estimate LFG generation?
It uses a first-order exponential decay function that assumes LFG generation is at its peak following a six-month time lag after waste placement.
