The D3.1 deliverable from the CERITA project focused on analyzing energy consumption patterns at two major landfill sites: Getliņi in Latvia and Aardlapalu in Tartu, Estonia. The report aimed to uncover key areas where efficiency improvements are both needed and feasible.
Findings revealed that:
- The highest energy consumption was observed in greenhouse operations and transportation.
- There is significant potential for integrating renewable energy sources—particularly solar, wind, and biogas—into landfill energy systems.
These insights now form a basis for developing sustainable energy strategies at waste management facilities. By identifying and addressing these consumption hotspots, the CERITA project helps pave the way for a cleaner, more circular regional economy.
