Question:
Which waste management option is most effective for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from organic solid waste?
Which waste management option is most effective for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from organic solid waste?
Show Hint
For organic solid waste:
\[
\boxed{
\text{Anaerobic Digestion}
+
\text{Biogas Recovery}
}
\]
is one of the most effective methods for reducing greenhouse gas emissions while generating renewable energy.
Updated On: Jul 23, 2026
- Open dumping
- Sanitary landfilling without gas recovery
- Composting
- Anaerobic digestion with biogas recovery
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Anaerobic digestion converts organic waste into biogas, primarily methane and carbon dioxide.
Recovering and utilizing the methane as an energy source prevents its release into the atmosphere, thereby significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Hence,
\[
\boxed{\text{Anaerobic digestion with biogas recovery}}
\]
is the correct answer.
Therefore,
\[
\boxed{(D)}
\]
