Introduction The UKs National Assessment Model for assessing methane emissions from landfills was constructed in 1999 It was updated and revised in 2002 New estimates of national emissions and forecasts were made under a number of waste management scenarios The approach taken is consistent with IPCC Guidelines and IPCC Good Practice guidance (IPCC, 1996; 2000) It takes account of the flexibility allowed in the IPCC guidance for site/country specific data/information and sound scientific principles to be accommodated
