TLDR
In the long-term, landfills are producing landfill gas (LFG) with low calorific values, therefore, the utilization of LFG in combined heat and power plants (CHP) is limited to a certain period of time and a feasible method for LFG treatment is microbial CH(4) oxidation.About:

Evaluation of a biologically active cover for mitigation of landfill gas emissions.
TL;DR: Emissions of CH4 and non-methane organic compounds (NMOCs) from landfill cells covered with soil or a biologically active cover consisting of yard waste compost are contrasted to suggest a correlation betweenCH4 and trace organic oxidation.

Kinetics of Methane Oxidation in a Landfill Cover Soil: Temporal Variations, a Whole-Landfill Oxidation Experiment, and Modeling of Net CH4 Emissions
TL;DR: In this article, a static enclosure (closed chamber) technique supplemented by soil gas concentration profiles and field incubations was used to simulate methanotrophic oxidation of methane at a northeastern Illinois landfill with pumped gas recovery.
