ABSTRACT
In order to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, or to reduce the cumulative global warming impact or to utilize it as a renewable energy resource, it is desirable to manage such sites as the waste should be collected by employing suitable disposal methods and should recover the useful products. This chapter utilizes two methodologies to determine the result: order decay model and survey. It shows the total gas emissions from the land-fill, such as methane, carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide. The chapter attempts to take instance from two cities in Indonesia, Makassar and Surabaya, as the representative of waste management in Indonesia. It discusses the CO2 emission that produced from both Benowo and Tamangapa landfills. The chapter attempts to track hydrogen sulfide gas that is related to health damage in each landfill. It deals with health capital which part of human capital.
