Current EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act require many landfill owners/operators to collect and combust LFG. To comply, landfill owners/operators can either burn the gas off by flaring it, or install an LFG energy system. Beneficial use of LFG is the only option that offers communities and landfill owners/operators the opportunity to reduce the costs associated with regulatory compliance by turning this landfill byproduct into a marketable resource.
