Landfill Methane Outreach Program

The Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) is an initiative by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) aimed at reducing methane emissions from landfills. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. The program promotes the capture and reuse of this methane as a renewable energy source, such as for electricity generation or heating. By encouraging partnerships between landfill owners and energy developers, LMOP helps reduce environmental impact while also providing a sustainable energy option, turning waste into a valuable resource. This contributes to cleaner air and a healthier planet.
