Methane Capture Success Stories
- The trash we bury in landfills decomposes slowly and produces methane, a greenhouse gas that escapes into the atmosphere. But some local governments are putting their waste to work. They have chosen to harness the methane by capturing it and turning it into an independent, local energy source.
- Greensboro, NC, produces $30,000 worth of landfill methane per year
- Montgomery County, MD, powers 2,700 homes with landfill gas
