Why is this important?
Out of 2,300 currently operating or recently closed landfills (in the US), only 400 have LFG utilization processes
It is estimated 560 more will have LFG utilization processes in the future, reducing the GHG effect equivalent to removing the emissions of 11 million vehicles
1,300 landfills will be doing nothing
Municipal solid waste landfills are the largest human-generated source of methane emissions in the US
More companies need to use LFG to decrease emissions and to save money on energy costs
More landfills need to either use the LFG as energy or install a Flare
