Methane Gas Capture: UK Methane Subsidy Cuts Threaten Climate Goals
Right now, landfill methane gas capture sites quietly power approximately 1 million homes with clean and reliable electricity. The Renewables Obligation scheme funds these operations, but it expires in March 2027. Without fresh government support, 87 per cent of landfill methane capture sites would shut down immediately. This closure would eliminate a renewable energy source […]
Landfill Gas Extraction Systems and the Equipment Used for Energy Recovery
In this article, we discuss landfill gas extraction systems and how the landfill gas collected is used to create renewable energy. Waste heat is used in a combined heat & power (CHP) system to improve overall efficiency. Landfill gas (LFG) is extracted from the landfill by exerting a small negative suction pressure on boreholes driven […]
Landfill Gas Pin Wells: A Low-Cost, High-Impact LFG Extraction Option
Discover the advantages of landfill gas pin wells, a cost-effective solution for efficient LFG extraction. Easier installation, lower costs, and increased gas capture make them ideal for sustainability. Learn how pin wells transform waste into energy, reducing emissions and supporting renewable projects across waste management facilities…

The Explosive Limits for Methane Biogas Explained
Q: What is meant by the “explosive limits” for methane? A: Explosive Range and Flammability – A gas that will burn is said to be “flammable.” Any flammable gas can explode under certain conditions. The range within which an explosion can occur is known as the explosive limits for methane. In order for a flammable gas to explode, […]
Landfill Gas Cut-Off Trenches for Landfill Gas Migration Control
Landfill gas cut-off Trenches can be successfully used for landfill gas migration control where landfill gas is escaping from a landfill underground and threatening to enter properties, or causing the die-back of trees and vegetation on the landfill perimeter. Landfill Gas Cut-Off Trenches Landfill Gas Cut-Off Trenches can be a simple, and when designed correctly, […]
