Welcome to Our Website!
Read this first to find out about this website is about. Our aim is to provide those involved in the renewable energy, resource and waste management industries the best source of information about: “Landfill gas, its creation and use, from the processes that produce it, to the production of sustainable renewable energy from it”. We […]
Why Landfill Gas Recovery is Important
Landfill gas recovery explained for operators and engineers: how landfill methane capture works, system components, capture rates, costs, energy uses, toxicity, how long landfills produce gas and UK regulation.
Methane Gas Facts: Properties, Sources, Uses and Hazards (Landfill Gas Expert Guide)
Methane (CH4) is the simplest hydrocarbon, the main component of natural gas, and typically around half of landfill gas. It is also the second-largest human-driven greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. That makes methane gas facts relevant to anyone who manages waste, gas or energy. This guide explains what methane is, how it is produced (naturally […]
Landfill Gas Extraction Well Design: Guidance and Practical Experience
Current guidance on landfill gas extraction well design, alongside Steve Last’s practical observations on well spacing, drilling, gravel packing, settlement and maintenance.
What are Carbon Credits? Landfill Gas
Carbon credits can help finance eligible landfill methane capture and electricity projects. Discover how they work, how credits differ from emissions allowances, and why eligibility, monitoring and verification matter.
Landfill Gas Emissions: Sources, Monitoring and Engineering Control
Landfill gas emissions are one of the most important indicators of how effectively a landfill is being managed. Methane escaping through a damaged cap, an inadequately controlled tipping area, leaking wellhead connections or an underperforming gas extraction system represents more than a greenhouse gas problem. It may indicate defects in the containment system, inadequate gas […]
GE Jenbacher vs. Caterpillar Landfill Gas Engines: Power Output and Efficiency
Explore how GE Jenbacher and Caterpillar landfill gas engines compare in power output and efficiency. Discover why Jenbacher’s high electrical efficiency and CHP configurations lead the market, and how choosing the right engine can maximize revenue from landfill gas projects with variable fuel conditions…
Landfill Gas Project Feasibility: How to Assess Whether an LFG Energy Project Will Work
A landfill gas project feasibility study should answer a deceptively simple question: is there enough recoverable landfill gas, of suitable quality and for long enough, to justify investing in a particular use for it? Answering that question properly takes more than entering a waste tonnage into a landfill gas model. You need reliable waste disposal […]
Landfill Gas Flare Monitoring: Emissions Testing & Performance Verification
Landfill gas flare monitoring sounds simple enough: measure what goes into the flare, check what comes out of the stack, and confirm that the methane has been properly destroyed. In practice, it is considerably more complicated. A landfill gas flare operates as part of a regulated gas-management system. Its performance may need to be demonstrated […]
Landfill Gas to Electricity vs. RNG: Best ROI for Municipal Operators
You know the hard part of Landfill Gas to Electricity vs. RNG is rarely the technology choice on its own. The real question is whether your site has enough stable gas, enough remaining landfill life and a realistic route to market to justify a long-term asset. In the UK, renewable natural gas is usually called […]
John Zink vs. Zeeco Landfill Gas Flare Systems: Features, Pricing, and Compliance
Choosing between John Zink and Zeeco landfill gas flare systems hinges on performance needs, emissions targets, and site conditions. Understand their offerings — from ultra-low emissions to cost-effective solutions — and ensure your facility’s compliance with EPA NSPS Subpart XXX while optimizing operational costs…
