Landfill gas

Landfill gas is a byproduct of decomposing organic waste in landfills. As garbage breaks down, it produces a mixture of gases, primarily methane and carbon dioxide. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, but it can also be captured and used as an energy source. Landfill gas management systems collect this gas to reduce harmful emissions and generate electricity or heat. Proper management helps mitigate environmental impacts and contributes to renewable energy initiatives, making it an important aspect of waste management and sustainability efforts.
