This online engineering PDH course discusses the how local governments and communities can achieve energy, environmental, health, and economic benefits by using landfill gas (LFG) recovered from municipal solid waste landfills as a source of renewable energy. The steps and considerations involved in developing and implementing LFG energy projects and an awareness of expected costs and financing opportunities are described. Two case studies are presented. This course is based on the EPA document, “Landfill Gas Energy, A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs,” 2012, as part of EPA’s Local Government Climate and Energy Strategy Series.
