ABSTRACT
The recovery of LFG as a source of renewable energy can yield substantial energy, economic, and environmental benefi ts. For every 1 million tons of MSW approximately 0.8 megawatts (MW) of electricity or 432,000 cubic feet per day of LFG can be produced. LFG projects also improve energy independence, produce cost savings, create jobs, and help local economies. Internationally, signifi cant opportunities exist for expanding LFG to energy projects.
