Landfill gas
Landfill gas is produced by the natural decomposition of organic waste in landfills. The methane it contains is a valuable resource for sustainable energy production. As landfills age, methane production declines, and recovery is often neither technically nor economically feasible.
Natural gas
Flaring facilities in the natural gas transmission network are used to specifically reduce methane emissions. Methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas—significantly more harmful to the climate than CO₂. During flaring, methane is burned in a controlled manner and converted into CO₂ and water vapor. This significantly reduces the climate impact of the emissions.
