ABSTRACT
This article discusses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Landfill Methane Outreach Program. Municipal solid waste landfills are the largest source of human-related methane emissions in the United States. Instead of allowing LFG to escape into the air, it can be captured, converted, and used as an energy source. The Landfill Methane Outreach Program is a voluntary assistance program that helps to reduce methane emissions from landfills by encouraging the recovery and use of landfill gas as an energy resource. The article discusses several different types of landfill gas utilization projects. It also discusses market drivers, environmental benefits, and financial benefits. The article concludes with a discussion on the future of landfill gas energy projects.
