| RESTORATION
AND AFTERUSE OF CLOSED LANDFILLS
There are 13 closed
landfills in Hong Kong and a restoration programme implemented by
EPD to reduce the potential safety and health risks of the closed
landfills has been launched. The restored landfills are landscaped
to provide a green zone to the urban areas, for people to enjoy
a healthy living environment. It is intended that these restored
landfills are to be developed into recreational facilities like
golf courses, multi-purpose grass pitches, rest gardens, ecological
parks, etc.
Utilization of
the landfill gas as non-fossil fuel is an environmental friendly
way to deal with landfill gas and at the same time reduce HK's energy
need. Greenhouse gases emitted from closed landfills are substantially
reduced by flaring or utilization of the extracted landfill gas.
