What are the other benefits of using landfill gas as an energy resource?
By participating in LFG project development, a community is being innovative and responsible with local resources, and can even enhance its image as an environmental leader. Reducing LFG emissions by converting them to energy reduces local ozone levels and smog formation, diminishes explosion threats and unpleasant odors created by the landfill, and improves overall landfill management. This makes the area surrounding the landfill a better place to live. A community that uses its LFG is both a steward of the environment and a leader in ensuring the well-being of its citizens.
