The graph depicts the drop in gas production using the aerobic process. The process commenced on January 15. Methane (yellow) and Carbon Dioxide (red) production dropped dramatically within 2 weeks. Oxygen (blue) is used as a control element. The spikes in Methane and Carbon Dioxide in mid-April are attributable to moisture injection to stabilize temperature (black).

The aerobic process resolves more environmental issues, faster and more effectively than any other technology. Gas flaring resolves only between 35 to 50% of landfill methane on a declining scale and typically requires more than 15 years before becoming economically unviable. SALT's aerobic process mitigates more than 90% of landfill methane in 2 to 3 years.. In fact, within 2 to 3 weeks of aerobic operation, methane production virtually ceases.
In Canada, carbon trading systems have been, or soon will be, implemented by many of the provinces and the federal government.
Because SALT's aerobic process is so efficient, the value of the generated carbon credits will more than offset the cost of installing and operating the aerobic system. In fact, sufficient credits are generated to allow a municipality or landfill owner to share in the revenue. A landfill now becomes an asset or profit center rather than a liability.
