Absolutely. Today, many landfills produce energy that is used to power industrial facilities, heat homes and fuel vehicles. This is made possible because methane (a basic ingredient in natural gas) is a byproduct of waste decomposition and can be captured at the site and piped to a conversion facility where it can be processed into a useable form of energy.
