Using Methane from Dump sites for domestic use

• Gases released from landfill sites due to extensive decomposition consist of approximately 60% methane and 40% carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Methane's effect as a greenhouse gas is about 21 times more than that of CO2
• Landfill gases (LFGs) used for electricity are one of the renewable energy technologies identified by the South African government
• Methane is a high energy gas that does not emit toxins during combustion
