Landfill Gas to Energy (LFGTE) Systems Market Report 2026

The landfill gas to energy (lfgte) systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.65 billion in 2025 to $7.27 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to government incentives for renewable energy, increasing landfill gas emissions awareness, advancements in internal combustion engine systems, rising energy demand in urban areas, initial investments in landfill gas cleanup infrastructure.

The landfill gas to energy (lfgte) systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.34 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological advancements in microturbine and gas turbine systems, expansion of combined heat and power (chp) applications, increasing focus on carbon neutrality, growth in industrial and municipal energy consumption, integration with smart grid and energy storage solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increased adoption of renewable energy sources, growth in waste-to-energy projects, expansion of renewable natural gas (rng) networks, advances in gas capture and cleanup technologies, rising environmental regulations on landfills.

The rising demand for renewable and clean energy is expected to drive the growth of the landfill gas to energy (LFGTE) systems market. Renewable and clean energy refers to power generated from natural sources that are replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, and geothermal heat. Demand for these energy sources is increasing due to heightened environmental concerns, the need for sustainable energy solutions, technological advancements, and government policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. LFGTE systems support renewable energy by capturing methane from landfills and converting it into usable energy, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing a sustainable power source. For example, in March 2025, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government statistics agency, reported that in 2024, the share of net electricity generated from renewable energy sources in the EU rose from 44.3% in 2023 to 46.9% in 2024, a 2.6 percentage point increase from the previous year. Consequently, the growing demand for renewable and clean energy is fueling the expansion of the LFGTE systems market.

Leading companies in the landfill gas to energy (LFGTE) systems market are pursuing strategic partnerships to improve technology integration and broaden their market presence. A strategic partnership is a collaborative arrangement between two or more organizations that allows them to pool their resources, expertise, and efforts to achieve shared goals. For instance, in November 2023, Environmental Solutions, Inc. (ESI), a US-based firm focused on renewable energy projects, teamed up with Waste Connections Inc., a waste management company, to inaugurate a groundbreaking renewable natural gas (RNG) processing facility at the Loess Hills Regional Sanitary Landfill. This facility, the first of its kind in western Iowa, processes landfill gas into methane, which is then fed into a natural gas pipeline. Starting with a capacity of 1,500 standard cubic feet of gas per minute, it aims to expand to 4,000 cubic feet per minute over 15 years, providing energy for nearly 14,000 homes annually. This initiative highlights ESI's dedication to sustainable energy solutions and establishes a new benchmark for environmental innovation in the Midwest.

In November 2023, Enbridge Inc., a Canada-based energy infrastructure company, acquired seven operational U.S. landfill gas-to-renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities from Morrow Renewables for US$1.2 billion. Through this acquisition, Enbridge aims to expand its RNG business in North America, convert methane from municipal landfills into pipeline-quality RNG, and support the transition to cleaner energy. Morrow Renewables LLC, based in the United States, specializes in landfill gas-to-energy systems and renewable natural gas production.
