Description:
The paper summarizes data in an updated and expanded database for North American landfill-gas (LFG)-to-energy projects. t provides summary statistics, including a list of current projects, trends in conversion technologies, and a list of major developers, energy equipment suppliers, and service organizations. he research that is described is part of a larger research program to develop more reliable emission estimates for the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. ata on LFG-to-energy projects have been reported for U.S. landfills and to a lesser extent on Canadian projects. hese data are regarded as essential information used by many government and private entities for planning, developing, and estimating new projects. ses of the data include global and regional evaluation of LFG emissions and control, evaluation of the energy potential and use of LFG as an offset fuel for hydrocarbon-based fuel such as oil and coal, evaluation of the status and trends of the LFG-to-energy industry, and development of a source of contacts for landfill owners, operators, and developers.
