Just northwest of the Amsterdam harbour area, the Nauerna landfill is reaching it’s completion. This is the best documented landfill in the Netherlands when it comes to measurement based methane emission estimates. It is now turned into Nauerna park. On the way from Casa to the landfill you’ll see some other important methane emission sources, like the waste water treatment facility, the waste incineration site and the coal storages.
On the site Heijo Scharff from the Afvalzorg company that is operator on the Nauerna site will show us the location and the Afvalzorg headquarter building which is built on top of the landfill. We’ll explain how emission measurements were done at this location, and show the measurement van used for the latest experiments.
The bus will leave 15:40 towards the landfill and arrive there around 16:40 We will return to Casa at around 19:00.
Posters can be exhibited during the full length of the conference. The posters will be placed at strategic positions to ensure maximum exposure. Also, the last half hour of the lunch breaks on wednesday and thursday, will be dedicated time for NCGG9 participants to discuss the posters with the researchers. And if you want to, you can have one minute at the end of the plenary programme on wednesday, to draw attention to your poster. Posters are not yet mentioned in the time table, this will follow in a future version.
During a plenary closing session the results will be summarized and conclusions drawn in an interactive way.
