Regenerative Energie
Elevated temperatures in landfills are caused by the biodegradation of the organic constituents of the waste or by exothermic chemical reactions within certain waste types. Concurrently with biodegradation, landfill gas is generated and leachates are created. The correlation of these indicators of biodegradation is complex and will change with the factors controlling the biodegradation process but, where the rates of biodegradation or chemical reactions change, it is to be expected that waste temperatures and landfill emissions will be commensurately affected.
This paper presents results of more than 6 years of temperature monitoring at the liner of a mainly MSW landfill in south-east England, with leachate recirculation during and after waste disposal. The paper also reviews published temperature data at other landfills and discusses the two main factors controlling the durability of HDPE geomembrane liners, being the lifetime temperature profile and the activation energy of the antioxidant depletion mechanism. The phases of degradation of HDPE liners are considered with the inclusion of the "half-life" of oxidative degradation within estimates of liner service life being questioned.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (6/2025)
In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
