Landfill Gas Insights

Landfill gas remains the primary source of renewable natural gas (RNG) production, but it carries higher lifecycle emissions due to ongoing methane leaks. This underscores the need for policies aimed at diverting organics from landfills to reduce emissions. On the economic side, RNG from landfills sells for $10 to $20 per MMBTU, which, while a premium over fossil natural gas, reflects the complexities of production costs and market dynamics.
