Learn about Landfill Gas

LMOP provides information about landfill gas (LFG) and LFG energy projects to a wide range of organizations and individuals interested in this important topic.

  • Landfill Gas - LFG is composed of about 50 percent methane, a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential at least 25 times greater than that of carbon dioxide (CO2).
  • Benefits of LFG Energy - Beneficially using LFG is one of the best ways to achieve a near-term impact in reducing landfill methane emissions.
  • Frequent Questions - Learn more about the Program, LFG and LFG energy projects, and some of the health and environmental concerns related to LFG.
