Electricity consumption is increasing around the globe. As per IEA (International Energy Agency) report electricity consumption rose by an estimated 4.3% y-o-y in 2024, up from 2.5% in 2023, with growth expected to continue at a robust 3.9% in near future. Further, technological advancement is creating major demand for electricity owing to increase in AI data center as it consumes as much electricity as 100,000 homes. These collaborative factors are creating high dependence and pressure on fossil fuels. So, by capturing methane, it can be utilized to make electricity and renewable natural gas. That’s how landfill gas is evolving as a renewable energy option and has converted from an environmental disaster into an opportunity. 

Recent Business Development in Landfill Gas Market

• June 2025: Ameresco and Republic Services started commercial operation of a renewable gas facility located at the County Landfill in Dixon, Illinois.

• September 2025: Montauk Renewables and Emvolon launched a methanol project at Waste Management’s Atascocita Landfill in Texas. This joint venture plans to convert landfill gas into methanol—used in greener shipping fuel with production projected at 6,000 metric tons annually, targeting further expansion by 2030.

Industry Response

In response to these environmental challenges, companies are actively expanding their units to convert LFG into electricity, which is further fueled by the cohesive government initiatives, as they are giving subsidies and incentives to companies operating in this sector.
