Landfill Methane

Landfill methane carbon offset projects capture and convert methane emissions into usable energy, reducing greenhouse gases, preventing air pollution, enhancing waste management, and supporting sustainable energy solutions for climate mitigation. Since methane is a potent greenhouse gas, reducing its emissions provides a critical opportunity to slow climate change and buy more time for long-term solutions.
