At NSR, Filboma landfill in Helsingborg, Sweden, a pilot test for detection of gas using the geophysical method resistivity profiling has shown promising results. Some of the results most likely showing trapped gas is shown. Due to the promising results two new separate tests are planned for 2008. The first test will focus on comparing gas leakage on the ground surface using laser technique and simultaneous resistivity monitoring. The second test is aiming to optimize the localisation of gas resources and monitoring the expected decrease of gas after the installation of gas wells. The set up for those tests will be presented and discussed
