Washington, DC The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized the latest accomplishments of landfill-gas methane partners who have reduced emissions of methane and created renewable energy sources.

EPA has assisted in the development of more than 200 landfill gas energy projects in the past 10 years. In 2005 alone, landfill gas energy projects in the U.S. provided more than 9 billion kilowatt hours of electricity and 74 billion cubic feet of gas for corporate and government end users. The emissions reductions associated with these projects last year were equal to those from 13 million vehicles. The energy equivalent would be powering 725,000 homes and heating 1.2 million homes.
