Phytocapping for sustainable waste containment systems and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and odour from waste disposal sites

填埋仍然是澳大利亚废物处理的主要方法，也是地下水污染、温室气体和气味排放的主要来源。这项国家研究计划将确定，在广泛的澳大利亚条件下，垃圾填埋场phytocaps是否可以满足监管性能标准的水渗透和气体排放从封闭的垃圾填埋场更有效，高效和可持续地比传统的封顶系统。该项目将产生（a）一个科学基础，供场地所有者和管理者就常规和植物覆盖技术的性能和成本达成一致意见，（B）一份设计和允许使用替代覆盖物的手册，（c）改进对覆盖物性能的科学预测。

Landfills remain the main method of waste disposal in Australia and are a major source of groundwater contamination and greenhouse and odour emissions. This national research program will establish, under a wide range of Australian conditions, whether landfill phytocaps can meet regulatory performance criteria for water infiltration into and gas emissions from closed landfills more effectively, efficiently and sustainably than conventional capping systems. The project will produce (a) a scientific basis for site owners and regulators to agree on the performance and cost of conventional and phyto cover technologies, (b) a manual for the design and permitting of alternative covers and (c)improved scientific prediction of cover performance.
