TechnoSanity #31: A look at Waste Management and landfill gas energy resources

Waste Management and the Linde Group recently announced a project to convert landfill gas to liquified natural gas. Landfill gas is of course a major greenhouse gas concern because its major constituent is methane, which is 30x more potent than CO2. They are using the LNG as fuel in WMI's fleet of garbage trucks.

This diverts methane from going into the atmosphere, which prevents burning some natural gas.
