Landfill Methane Recovery

Landfill methane recovery involves capturing the natural gas produced when organic waste decomposes in a landfill. This methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is collected through pipes installed beneath the landfill surface. The captured methane can then be used as a renewable energy source to generate electricity, heat, or fuel, reducing environmental impact. This process not only helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also turns waste into a valuable resource, promoting sustainability and energy efficiency. Essentially, landfill methane recovery transforms a pollutant into a useful form of energy, benefiting both the environment and energy systems.
