Why should uncontrolled landfill gas emissions concern the public?
• Landfill gas can be captured and the methane used as a source of energy. • The methane can be used to generate electricity or provide boiler fuel for local facilities with a large and constant demand for energy. • Other applications of methane are: to heat greenhouses, as a vehicle fuel, and to treat leachate. It can also be upgraded and injected into natural gas pipelines.
