A decision support tool for municipal waste landfills’ management

\nMost developing countries are disposing of large amounts of biodegradable waste in landfills. Generated landfill gas (LFG) can have negative impact on climate changes but it also can be used as a renewable energy resource. This paper aims to present an application (DeponIS) which supports business processes of waste management on municipal landfills in Serbian conditions. That way better prediction of available LFG quantities can be achieved. This application can help management decisions in several areas: available operational data in real time and strategical decisions based on projections about quantity of LFG in future. It can also be used as a generator for annual reports for Environmental Protection Agency and be in accordance with the polluter pays principle.\n
