Landfill gas

CHP units can also efficiently use different types of biogas, such as landfill gas, created by the decomposition of organic material in landfills. This gas contains methane and carbon dioxide. CHP units collect the landfill gas, treated to the required quality, and burn it to produce the power and heat. This prevents methane from escaping into the atmosphere, where it would otherwise act as a potent greenhouse gas. This converts landfill gas into a useful energy, increasing the efficiency of the power and heat production and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions. This practice promotes sustainability and a responsible approach to the waste management.
