When the waste is dumped in landfills, it decomposes and generates large amounts of methane, which greatly contributes to climate change. These projects capture that methane and generate electricity by burning it. You will commonly find project benefits such as stimulating economy through job creation and poverty alleviation; preservation of natural resources; promotion of reliable and renewable energy; reducing air, soil and water pollution; improving city infrastructure; helping spread green technology worldwide; and improving health and safety.
