Landfill, as the main method of solid waste disposal in present stage of China, can produce mixed biogas which is mainly composed of methane and this biogas will have a great effect on human health and environment, so the control and utilization of methane derived from landfill has become an important subject in municipal solid waste management. This paper focused on monitoring of biogas at landfills in Hou Village of Taiyuan City, and gas production at various monitoring points was very different. It was found that the gas in landfill zone had moved from inside to around and the biogas yield had relationship with rainfall and temperature weather conditions. The methane concentration varied according to certain rule. This work may provide the scientific basis for the use of methane gas in future.
