Methane (CH4) is an important greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 25 times higher than carbon dioxide (CO2). Landfill is a one of the major contributor to global CH4 emission and is estimated to be 500-800 Mt CO2 eq/year. Previous studies have shown that microbial oxidation of CH4 in lan...
