LFG Energy Project Opportunities

LMOP has developed a variety of analyses profiling specific landfill sites that LMOP considers candidates for the development of landfill gas (LFG) use projects. Included in the list of analyses are:

  • Project expo landfill presentations.
  • Gas generation and recovery estimates, which were produced with EPA's LandGEM software.
  • Feasibility assessments conducted to evaluate the LFG generation and recovery potential at specific landfills, potential end uses, and the approximate costs of using the gas for energy.

These analyses are based on engineering judgment and represent the standard of care that would be exercised by a reasonable professional experienced in the field of LFG projections. EPA LMOP does not guarantee the quantity of available LFG, nor any other site characteristic presented in these documents. The information used to conduct these analyses was obtained from, compiled, or provided by other parties. LMOP has made this information publically available, with the permission of the subject landfills, to promote further development of environmentally beneficial LFG use projects.
