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 […]
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…
How Engineers Predict Landfill Gas Production Rates: A Comparative Guide
Ever since methane gas was first observed bubbling from disposal sites in the 1970s, calculating landfill gas production rates has been a core discipline in solid waste management. Accurate estimates are essential for designing extraction infrastructure, assessing climate impact, ensuring regulatory compliance, and evaluating commercial energy recovery potential. How Engineers Predict Landfill Gas Production Rates […]
Methane Migration and Landfill Gas Migration: Risks, Pathways, Detection and Control
Methane migration is the movement of methane through soil, rock, made ground and other subsurface pathways away from the place where the gas was generated. At landfill sites, methane forms as a major component of landfill gas and, unless adequately contained and controlled, can migrate laterally beyond the deposited waste. The most serious consequences occur […]
The Loscoe Landfill Gas Explosion: When Weather Turned Deadly at a Derbyshire Landfill
How a sudden drop in atmospheric pressure triggered a catastrophic landfill gas explosion that destroyed a home and changed landfill safety forever On a seemingly ordinary day in March 1986, the residents of Loscoe, a small village in Derbyshire, had no idea they were living above a ticking time bomb. What happened next would become […]
