Leading Players Driving Innovation in the Landfill Gas Market:

Prominent players in the market are Waste Management Inc., Tetra Tech Inc., SUEZ, Veolia Environment, among others.

Key Growth Drivers:

Stringent environmental regulations targeting methane emissions, along with growing incentives such as tax credits, subsidies, and carbon offset schemes, are driving widespread adoption of landfill gas recovery systems. As the global demand for clean, dependable, and renewable energy rises, LFG is increasingly being recognized as a reliable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. The dual benefit of reducing greenhouse gases and generating energy positions LFG at the center of the global energy transition.

Technological advancements in gas capture, processing, and purification have enhanced the efficiency and economic viability of LFG projects. Rising urbanization and increasing waste volumes globally are further expanding the availability of raw landfill feedstocks.

Application Outlook:

Electricity generation remains the most dominant application for landfill gas, accounting for a significant share of global revenues. The stable, baseload nature of LFG-powered electricity makes it an attractive supplement to variable renewables like solar and wind. Additionally, the co-location of power generation facilities near landfill sites improves efficiency and reduces operational costs.

Landfill Gas Market News:

In June 2025, Veolia Environment SA and Waga Energy commissioned the expanded Granges-sur-Vologne landfill RNG plant in northern France. The upgrade added 30% capacity to 180 GWh annually and included a second gas cleaning unit to meet French biomethane quality standards. The partnership brought Veolia's RNG plant portfolio to ten globally, supporting the EU's drive to decarbonize.

In April 2025, WM opened the grand opening of four new recycling and renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities throughout the U.S. as part of a $3 billion investment in sustainability between 2022 and 2026. The improvements, such as the largest recycling plant near Baltimore and a significant RNG plant outside Philadelphia, targeted increased landfill gas processing, adding considerable renewable energy capacity and meeting community energy demands.
