Energy Vision Report Finds Advanced Landfill Tech Could Cut US Methane Emissions Deeply at Low Cost While Yielding High Returns for Operators
Landfills are a major source of methane emissions – the third-largest in the U.S. after the agriculture and energy sectors. But by implementing practical, cost-effective measures, total landfill methane emissions can be halved while providing new revenue for operators, according to a report released today by the NGO Energy Vision, “Leading with Landfills: The Immense, Cost-Effective Potential of Advanced Technology to Reduce Methane Emissions at Landfills Nationwide.”
