Our science editor has been looking at perhaps the surprising effect food waste could be having on rising temperatures. Reporting from manchester in northern england. Reporter on a frozen morning, steam rises from a mountain of waste. A scene that most of us never think about but at this site near manchester and 200 others, rubberstamped every day starts running. When you get this close, the smell does become pretty intense. That is because the waste here is and old bits of food are decomposing. Bacteria are working away on that waste and giving off a host of different gases including Greenhouse Gases. This is happening on a massive scale right across the country. Households throw a staggering amounts of food. For example the equivalent of 86 million chickens every year in the u. K. We asked researchers to monitor what happens under lights that mimic the heat of a landfill site. Followedlapse camera the grim process of decomposition. Bacteria crating gases that force the chicken to swell up over the course of a week. No supplies, flies were soon attracted. Have injected the sample from the decomposed chicken and you can see in the mass spectrometer is this large peak here. That is methane. Reporter some food is collected by local councils but most of it is still not. That means more Greenhouse Gases added to the air and money wasted. I find it very shocking not only is it costing a lot of at 60 pounds a month for the average family with children but the tons of food that could have been eating beaten, it goes to the landfill and rots and gives off Greenhouse Gas emissions. Reporter there are ways that food waste can be used. Rubbish is automatically divided here, some of it diverted into a clemente goes on to produce electricity. Scale so far but more waste is being harnessed for energy. Is food waste whether it leftovers or food that has gone off is important that people put that in the right been. We can take that material, use it in Technology Like this and squeeze the energy out of it so people by recycling their food waste are actually helping to keep the lights on. Scientists prepare a drone to fly over and measure the gases coming up. No one knows exactly how big the problem is but these flights should provide an answer. Many landfill sites are due to close in the coming years but even when they do there will be a legacy of gases seeping out of them for decades to come.
