Abstract

Prediction of methane gas emissions has been made to the Muara Fajar Landfill which is the final disposal site for all waste in the city of Pekanbaru. Prediction was made to find out the amount of methane gas emissions resulting from waste that has been piled up for a long time. The method used for prediction is the dynamic system model using powersim software. The prediction results of the amount of methane gas produced in 2018 were 8.28 Gg/year and increased by 1.94% per year until 2028. Two model scenarios were made as a mitigation effort. The first scenario is by assuming the processing of waste, namely by trying to separate and process plastic waste, and the second scenario is by assuming an increase in population migration by increasing the number of scholarships for students. The result obtained from the first scenario is that there will be a reduction in methane gas emissions by 0.53% per year. Furthermore, the result for the second scenario if done reveals that there is a reduction in methane gas emissions of 0.184% per year.
