TLDR
The overall methane mass balance in field cells with a variety of designs, cover materials, and gas management strategies was assessed, and defaults for percent recovery were used as the basis for guidelines by the French environment agency.About:

Microbial methane oxidation processes and technologies for mitigation of landfill gas emissions.
Charlotte Scheutz,Peter Kjeldsen,Jean E. Bogner,Alex De Visscher,Julia Gebert,Helene Hilger,Marion Huber-Humer,Kurt A. Spokas +7 more
TL;DR: Additional research and technology development is needed before methane mitigation technologies utilizing microbial methane oxidation processes can become commercially viable and widely deployed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the methodology and data used to determine greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions attributable to ten cities or city-regions: Los Angeles County, Denver City and County, Greater Toronto, New York City, Greater London, Geneva Canton, Greater Prague, Barcelona, Cape Town and Bangkok.

TL;DR: Although landfill CH 4 emissions from developed countries have been largely stabilized, emissions from developing countries are increasing as more controlled (anaerobic) landfilling practices are implemented; these emissions could be reduced by accelerating the introduction of engineered gas recovery, increasing rates of waste minimization and recycling, and implementing alternative waste management strategies provided they are affordable, effective, and sustainable.

Sustainability assessments of bio-based polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed published life cycle assessments (LCAs) and commonly used LCA databases that quantify the environmental sustainability of bio-based polymers and summarized the range of findings reported within the literature.

‘Carbon footprinting’: towards a universally accepted definition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the range of current definitions proposed for a carbon footprint in the context of inventoried emissions, applications, boundaries and limitations, and argued that to only account for CO2 emissions would result in the omission of almost a third of GHGs and a significant gap in their global management, whilst inclusion of all GHGs is very timeconsuming and expensive, and should be considered only in system-specific life cycle-based assessments; this requires a separate definition, name and...

Fractionation of carbon and hydrogen isotopes by methane-oxidizing bacteria
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used carbon and hydrogen isotopic analysis to identify the source of a gas that has been partially oxidized by a bacteria, which can significantly change the carbon isotopic composition of the gas.

Rapid methane oxidation in a landfill cover soil.
TL;DR: Methane oxidation rates observed in a topsoil covering a retired landfill are the highest reported for any environment and are attributed to enhanced CH(4) transport to the microorganisms; gas-phase molecular diffusion is 10-fold faster than aqueous diffusion.
