Captured methane is collected from landfills, waste lagoons, or digesters and processed for use as an energy source. Once it is purified to remove impurities, the methane is typically burned to produce electricity and heat or upgraded into renewable natural gas for use in pipelines, homes, and vehicles.
Methane capture turns a harmful greenhouse gas into a valuable fuel that can reduce dependence on fossil fuels and lower overall emissions. By capturing and using methane instead of allowing it to escape into the atmosphere, energy is generated while reducing the environmental impact of waste.
