This study compares methane (CH 4 ) emissions from five Icelandic landfills, quantified using tracer gas dispersion to modelled emission rates using the IPCC FOD model. The average CH 4 emission rates measured from the investigated landfills were 475.4 kg CH 4 h −1 (Álfsnes landfill), 32.5 kg CH 4 h...
