How does landfill gas affect public health, safety, and the environment?
The U.S. EPA air quality requirements and the industry’s advances in landfill gas-to-energy technologies have encouraged the utilization of landfill gas to benefit human health, safety and the environment, as well as providing economic opportunities. Landfill gas-to-energy projects provide a highly effective means of reducing overall gas emissions from landfills, whether the landfill gas is combusted by flare, electrical generation equipment, or another end use system.
