WRACOVER is establishing a method for gathering and composting beach wrack. The case study is testing if composted beach wrack can be used in a biocover. A biocover is a compost-layer containing bacteria that can convert methane into carbon dioxide. The biocover will be established a local recreational area located near the beach in Køge. This recreational area was originally established on top of an old landfill and methane gases are leaking from certain areas. As methane is a greenhouse gas around 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide, a biocover can help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in Køge Municipality.
