Increasing Business Value With Landfill Gas-to-energy Projects: Environmental Issues And Implications

摘要

Landfill gas is a renewable energy source. Making use of this resource in waste-to-energy projects at municipal solid waste landfills can reduce air emissions while also providing significantrneconomic benefits. Using landfill gas in energy production offers a particularly valuable strategy for reducing emissions of methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas.rnThis article focuses on creating value with landfill gas-to-energy projects at municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. It is the first in a series of articles that will present practical concepts regarding the use of landfill gas (LFG) for energy production, while also discussing pertinent environmental management issues.
