The study also expands on the previous competitive landscape section, and readers will get to know the key strategies of established players as well as new entrants.
Historical Vs. Future Outlook on Landfill Gas Sales
Landfill gas has gained rapid traction in the past years owing to various advantages such as cost-effectiveness, efficient utilization of waste management solutions, reduction of harmful impact of greenhouse gas emissions, and others. While demand for renewable power sources has become more prominent, increase in environmental awareness has further driven the sales of landfill gas during the last 5 years from 2016 to 2020, except for a temporary decline in 2020.
Landfill gas, being used in various direct and upgraded application segments, is subject to higher requirement over the coming years. Various initiatives and awareness campaigns by governmental and non-profit organizations regarding waste management and minimizing the effects of greenhouse and other toxic gases on the environment are fuelling the sales of suppliers. According to Fact.MR, the global landfill gas market is anticipated to expand at over 5% CAGR through 2031, creating lucrative growth scope for key players.
How is Rising Growing Environmental Awareness Fuelling Sales of Landfill Gas?
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), almost 2/3 of landfill waste is bio degradable, while the rest rots and decomposes, producing harmful gases such as carbon di-oxide and methane, which are both greenhouse gases and contribute to global warming. Landfill gas not only prevents such negative impacts on the environment, but fulfils the requirement for natural and cost-effective power sources.
According to a report titled “Renewable Energy Statistic”, published by the European Commission (EC) on 15th February 2021, in 2019 renewable energy represented 19.7% of energy consumed in EU-27, only 0.3% short of the 2020 target of 20%. As stated in the report, the share of energy from renewable sources used in transport activities in the EU-27 reached 8.9% in 2019, and is forecast to rise further, getting over the restraints brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
What are the Key Challenges Faced by Landfill Gas Suppliers?
Landfill gas suppliers often face constraints that come in the way of its wider adoption, such as-
- Landfills are partially responsible for change in climate. According to Conserve Energy Future Organization, one tonne of biodegradable waste can produce approximately 400-500 cubic meters of landfill gas
- May contaminate soil and water
- Methane lights up easily and may cause accidents
However, advantages of landfill gases are higher than these few disadvantages, and also explosions from landfill gases are not so common. Additionally, manufacturers and suppliers are focusing on minimizing these negative effects in order to widen their growth scope and overcome the restraints.

According to a report titled “Municipal Solid Waste Landfills”, published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on 6th January 2021, the revised criteria in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 258 addresses 7 major aspects of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF), which include-
- Location restrictions
- Composite liners requirement
- Leachate collection & removal systems
- Operating practices
As per the report, handling of landfills is of utmost importance, which, in turn, is boosting demand for landfill gas in the United States.
What’s Bolstering the Growth of Players in China?
China is the leading country in the world’s fastest-growing landfill gas industry - Asia Pacific - and is forecast to sustain its position throughout the forecast period. Driven by rise in environmental concerns and increase in investments in research & development (R&D) activities by key players, China is being targeted by landfill gas suppliers in order to increase their sales footprint.
As per a report titled “Landfill Gas Utilization”, published by the Environmental Protection Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, some of the top strategic landfills utilizing landfill gas for energy production in China are-
- West New Territories Landfill
- South East New Territories Landfill
- North East New Territories Landfill
According to the report, landfill gases are being extensively used in China, and top usages include-
- Generating electricity or use in on-site infrastructures such as offices, pumping stations, and maintenance workshops, to name a few
- Powering leachate treatment facilities
This represents the growth scope for key players in China for landfill gas.
How are Landfill Gas Suppliers in India Gaining High Revenue Streams?
High requirement for natural power sources, growing need for efficient waste management, well-established manufacturing hubs, availability of sufficient raw material, and low labor cost are some of the factors driving the surge in demand for landfill gas in India.
As per data revealed by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy of India, more than 55 million tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) are generated in urban areas of India annually, while it is estimated that, the amount of waste generated in India is predicted to increase at a rate of nearly 1.5% annually. This points towards the rise in requirement for landfill management, which, in turn, denotes new opportunities awaiting landfill gas suppliers in the country.
