EPA proposes updates to reduce methane, pollutants - Renewable Energy from Waste

As part of the President’s Climate Action plan – Strategy to Reduce Methane Emissions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed updates to its air standards for new municipal solid waste landfills. 

The updates would require certain landfills to capture additional landfill gas, which would reduce emissions of methane and help reduce pollution. The agency also is seeking input from the public on how and whether to update guidelines for existing landfills.
