Abstract
ABSTRACT When landfill gas (LFG) is used in combined heat and power (CHP) systems, the benefits multiply. A CHP project powered by LFG not only provides significantly better energy efficiency and cost savings, but it also achieves significant environmental benefits from using a locally produced, biomass fuel. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) has supported the development of LFG energy (LFGE) projects for more than a decade. The LMOP encourages the development of LFGE projects in several ways. To achieve more LFG use, the program maintains voluntary partnerships with businesses, communities, and states. The LMOP provides information about LFGE opportunities in the United States and prepares preliminary feasibility studies for landfills and potential LFG users. The LMOP and the LFGE industry have achieved significant reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases, because LFG is approximately 50% methane and methane traps more heat in the atmosphere than ...
