- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoEstimación de la producción de gas metano en los sitios de disposición final de residuos sólidos en Ecuador(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Zhicay Gómez, Jessica Daniela; Solano Peláez, José Luis; 0107497778; García Calle, Anthony AlxanderThis research aims to estimate methane (CH4) production generated by waste and/or municipal solid waste (MSW) in Ecuador on a cantonal level according to the final disposal sites (FDS) where they are deposited. A Corenostos model was used, and geographic information systems were presented, which is fundamental due to the polluting potential of this gas. Obtaining the amounts of these emissions will allow better practices in the integrated management of MSW, becoming the first national database on CH4 emissions generated in a historical period between the years 2014-2023 and a predictive one between 2024 - 2058. This information provides specific data to each of the 221 cantonal governments of the country, which will be able to make decisions to improve their systems for an adequate quality of life in their jurisdictions. The base information comes from an ex-situ exploration in websites such as the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC by its Spanish acronym) and other scientific information sources. Finally, the results revealed that CH4 production for the 2014-2023 period was 1288.15 kton, and for the 2024-2058 total period was 5650.61 kton.
