What are the environmental benefits of using landfill gas as an energy resource?
Converting LFG to energy offsets the need for non-renewable resources such as coal and oil, and reduces emissions of air pollutants that contribute to local smog and acid rain. In addition, LFG projects help curtail global climate change, because they reduce emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide. LFG projects go hand-in-hand with community commitments to cleaner air and reductions in greenhouse gases that cause global climate change.
