Landfill Gas to Energy
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 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 […]
Landfill Gas Production Rate Calculation: Key Factors Influencing Methane Emissions
Have you ever stared at your site’s gas production figures and thought, “Are these numbers actually right?” It’s one of the most common frustrations in waste management. Landfills produce methane constantly, and measuring it accurately matters enormously. Get your Landfill Gas Production Rate wrong, and you’re either over-planning your capture system or missing real emissions. […]
Landfill RNG Cuts Emissions And Turns Waste Into Renewable Energy
Landfill Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is a sustainable fuel produced by capturing the methane in landfill gas—a potent greenhouse gas—from decomposing organic waste in landfills, which is then purified and upgraded to pipeline-quality standards Transforming your facility’s waste into a highly profitable energy commodity is now a straightforward reality. Landfill RNG projects have grown from […]
Expert Insights: Future Trends in Landfill Gas-to-Energy Conversion
Landfill gas conversion holds potential as a $1.9 billion industry, yet many landfills lack gas collection. Innovations in gas collection, early installation, and real-time monitoring could cut U.S. landfill methane emissions nearly in half, addressing climate goals and boosting the renewable energy sector…
What is Landfill Gas: Composition Uses and Benefits
Landfill gas (LFG) is a natural, clean-burning byproduct created when bacteria decompose organic waste (food, paper, wood) in landfills. It consists primarily of roughly 50% methane (CH4) and 50% carbon dioxide (CO2), along with trace amounts of nitrogen, oxygen, and volatile organic compounds. LFG is a potent greenhouse gas but is increasingly captured and used […]
Is Your Landfill Site Ready? Assessing When to Install Gas Flares & Landfill EfW Systems
The urgency for compliance with the COP29 methane pledge means waste managers must act immediately. Gas flares are mandatory for low volumes, while EfW systems transform hazards into valuable energy. Install EfW when LFG is significant and steady to secure compliance and profits ahead of deadlines…
Landfill Gas Power Plants
Landfill Gas Power Plants should be installed at all landfills, where the landfill gas (LFG) extraction rate is large enough to sustain a steady flow for long periods (multiple years). A typical Landfill Gas Power Plant for most landfill sites is an internal combustion engine, or possibly a gas turbine. The typical landfill gas power plant is used […]
Landfill Gas Flares – Selection Installation And Maintenance
Landfill gas flares are now destined to be installed in a lot more landfills globally after COP26. This article is intended to help the anticipated influx of industry newcomers with their Landfill Gas Flare selection, installation, and maintenance. One of the international pledges made during the UN International Climate Change Conference 2021 otherwise known as […]
