Waste is set to increase to 3.88 billion tons per year by 2050, a 73% increase from 2020, and landfills will remain a part of municipal solid waste (MSW) management strategies in municipalities around the world.
Areas that are running out of space for landfills can capitalize on the emissions the existing landfills create with LFG to energy projects. For municipalities, LFG capture and LFG to energy projects may be a part of a sustainability strategy for waste management.

Landfill gas (LFG) to energy is a type of waste-to-value technology in which methane and carbon dioxide are captured from landfills and transformed into renewable natural gas (RNG), vehicle fuel, or electricity.
