Landfill biogas is one of the renewable energy sources, and this gas is a sustainable energy source as well. Natural gas and landfill biogas have a lot in common, and landfills can be alternative energy sources which are eco friendly and efficient at the same time. When organic waste, such as food scraps, paper, and other garbage are put into a landfill, the material starts to break down and decompose. As organic matter decomposes, it releases methane gas, and this is present in natural gas that is used to create electricity and heat homes. This gas does not have any smell or color, so it is impossible to detect without special equipment. Landfills may accumulate the gases released from the decaying organic material, and it is explosive and hazardous if not released.
