Methane capture is the process of collecting methane gas produced when organic waste breaks down, for example when manure or foods scraps break down in low-oxygen environments like waste lagoons or landfills. Systems are installed to trap and store itInstead of letting the gas escape into the atmosphere, where it acts as a powerful greenhouse gas.
Captured methane can be used as a renewable energy source, or biogas, to generate electricity, heat, or even fuel for vehicles. Captured methane helps reduce environmental pollution, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and turns waste into a resource for energy production.
