Analyzing the Landfill Gas Industry, 2019 Report - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Analyzing the Landfill Gas Industry 2019" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Analyzing the Landfill Gas Industry 2019 pertains to the basics of understanding the composition, natural production, and transportation of Landfill Gas in the normal economic model. The report analyzes the limitations to the production of LFG and the best periods to capitalize on the generation of the gas. Certain hazards posed by this gas which warrant safe usage practices along with the procedures to assess the potential biohazard any landfill site presents before LFG can be harvested from it.

Due to the strict regulations being put in place worldwide related to greenhouse emissions, the global landfill gas industry is set to grow at a steady pace in the years to come. Increasing demand for renewable and clean energy sources is further boosting the industry growth and outlook until 2023. For example, in 2016, the Singaporean government declared new targets towards reducing the country's carbon emissions by over 35% by 2030. As smart landfills come up, the global landfill gas industry is poised to benefit from trends such as an increased effort towards recycling waste and the ever-growing demand for energy worldwide.

With the increasingly global focus of energy conservation and stress on clean generation, Landfill Gas has emerged as a source which is an available backdoor, is proven to be economical in cost perspective and is a growing energy resource in the modern world. The mounting advent of megacities with their generation of megatons of waste materials coupled with their growing energy consumption needs has forced civilization to take a deeper look at understanding energy recycling in every form.

Any energy analysis is not complete without understanding the environmental impact of that energy source and the technologies deployed for the effective treatment of this energy resource in order to make it safe, clean and usable. The report also analyzes the control measures used in order to utilize LFG as an effective energy tool after the recovery and storage of LFG leading to energy generation. The report also analyzes certain case studies of such implementation of LFG processes.
