Landfill Gas: What Is It?

Many different gases can be found in landfill gas. 90 to 98% of landfill gas is made up of methane and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen, oxygen, ammonia, sulfides, hydrogen, and other gases make up the remaining 2 to 10%. Bacteria that break down organic garbage release landfill gases.

Why Is Landfill Gas Useful?

Gas from landfills is a reliable and sustainable energy source. Utilizing landfill gas lessens the need for more environmentally damaging energy sources. Utilizing landfill gas lessens dangers to the public's health and the environment, such as air pollution. Utilizing landfill gas results in better-managed landfills that are also nicer neighbors.

Landfill Gas Market Dynamics

Market Drivers: Running of Various Waste Management Programs by the Government Body

Sales of landfill gas have increased over the past several years as a result of heightened environmental consciousness.

Compared to carbon dioxide, methane in the atmosphere has a much higher potential as a greenhouse gas. Methane molecules are around 25 times more effective than carbon dioxide molecules at retaining heat. The majority of this methane is released from landfills as a result of solid organic wastes being broken down by microbes. Thus, the release of methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is decreased by capturing and using this gas mixture from landfills. Many governments support waste management programs, which are expected to boost the expansion of the worldwide landfill gas market.

Market Challenges: High Setup Costs

The smell of landfill gas can give you headaches or make you queasy. But rather than being a health risk, the smell is more disagreeable. Although some of the components of landfill gas may be dangerous if present in high quantities, they shouldn't hurt health if present in very small quantities. Yet, high setup costs to maintain the ideal moisture level for the decomposition of organic waste are anticipated to restrain market expansion.

Market opportunities: Greater Use of Landfill Gas

In contrast, it is anticipated that the quantity of solid waste and greater use of landfill gas will offer lucrative opportunities for the top market players.

Effect of COVID-19 on the World Market for Landfill Gas:

For a brief time, the COVID-19 outbreak had a favorable effect on the expansion of the global landfill gas market.

• The lack of personnel and poor transportation during this time has made it difficult for different energy producers to meet consumer demand.

• The public's growing awareness of the harm landfill waste has done to the environment during this time has increased commercial and public sector spending on the development of landfill gas plants.

• The growth of the landfill gas market has been positively impacted by the rise in the presence of hazardous gases like carbon dioxide and methane as well as a breeding ground for several dangerous bacteria that can cause harmful diseases during this pandemic condition.

As a result, the aforementioned factors are anticipated to fuel the expansion of the worldwide landfill gas market in the near future.
