The landfill gas capture and utilization market involves the collection and conversion of methane-rich gas generated from decomposing organic waste in landfills. This gas, primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide, is either flared or used to generate electricity, fuel industrial boilers, or refined into renewable natural gas (RNG). With global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and advance circular economy initiatives, capturing landfill gas has become a viable waste-to-energy solution. Governments and private sector stakeholders view it as a key bridge technology to reduce methane emissions while supporting energy diversification and local grid resilience.

The market grew significantly in response to global climate action and methane reduction pledges made under initiatives like the Global Methane Pledge. North America and Europe led new installations, incentivized by carbon credits and clean energy subsidies. Municipalities invested in upgrading existing flaring systems to capture and process gas into electricity or pipeline-quality RNG. Technology providers launched modular, scalable gas recovery units suited for small to mid-size landfills. Integration of IoT sensors and remote monitoring platforms enhanced system performance and leak detection. Voluntary corporate carbon offset programs also drove demand for RNG sourced from landfill gas.

The landfill gas market will benefit from increased mandates around methane mitigation and the decarbonization of natural gas pipelines. Biogas purification technologies will become more efficient and cost-effective, enabling higher conversion rates and broader site applicability. RNG produced from landfill gas will be used to fuel heavy-duty vehicles, public transport, and even as feedstock for green hydrogen production. As land availability decreases and waste management regulations tighten, closed landfills will be retrofitted with gas capture systems. Landfill gas will become a vital component of localized, renewable energy portfolios, particularly in regions lacking access to large-scale solar or wind infrastructure.
