Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

The Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) is a U.S. EPA initiative that promotes the use of methane gas captured from landfills. Landfills produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas, as waste decomposes. LMOP encourages projects that collect this gas to generate electricity, heat, or to upgrade it for other uses, reducing environmental impact and providing renewable energy. It supports landfills, waste operators, and energy developers through technical assistance, resources, and partnerships, helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions while promoting sustainable energy solutions.
