MBT-Landfill as Carbon Sink - Expected Carbon Content after Aeration

Target of MBT (mechanical biological treatment of wastes) is to mineralise and to stabilise waste organic matter. This leads to a reduction of emissions after landfi lling the pretreated wastes. It is well known, that MBT-landfills can be seen as a carbon sink, but there is a deficit in knowledge about the time frame respectively which share of organic carbon will remain in the landfill over long period.

During last decades at ABF-BOKU approximately 800 incubation tests (according to Ö-NORMS2027 part 2 2012) were analysed (380 MBT samples and 330 samples from old landfill sites). Many of these tests were carried out over much longer test periods than minimum duration (21days + lag-phase) described in the Austrian standard. Duration was several 100 days up to 8 years! 141 of these long-term tests were evaluated to get an idea about gas formation potential respectively the 'end-carbon-content†in MBT-landfills. In a first step a prediction model (log-normal distribution curve) for gas formation potential was developed (Tintner et al. 2011; Binner et al. 2013). Actual the gas formation potential of 91 MBT-samples and 27 samples from old landfills was estimated by this model. The MBT-samples were taken in 12 Austrian MBT plants. Thus feedstock materials and mechanical treatment as well as duration of treatment of the analysed samples differ very huge.

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
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (6/2025)
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.
