Abstract
Landfilling is the most applied waste disposal method worldwide. Landfill gas, which is nearly fifty percent methane, emitted by landfills, is one of the major contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. Converting landfill gas to energy decreases landfill emissions while generating renewable energy. This article discusses trends in Landfill Gas-to-Energy (LFGTE) research between 2022 and 2025 based on recurrent themes in conventional and innovative LFGTE technology.
