Landfill gas has been used in power generation since the mid 80’s with approximately 500 active sites throughout the UK.

The gas produced by landfill is a natural byproduct of the decomposition of organic waste, primarily containing 50% methane and 50% carbon dioxide. By burning the gas that is collected this can be used to generate electricity through combined heat and power. This is a valuable renewable energy source whilst helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Working in partnership with our European suppliers, CooperOstlund can provide gas-to-grid (G2G) which will upgrade the gas into biomethane which can be injected into the existing natural gas grid.
