The technology for recovering and converting landfill gas (LFG) to energy has been known for sometime, and implementation of projects have been occurring over the past 15 years. This paper describes the evolution of LFG utilization development, the barriers that exist for this form of biomass, and technical and economic factors regarding LFG utilization. The basis of this paper is the authors` experience in successful and unsuccessful LFG projects and two projects sponsored by NRBP: (1) Implementation Guide to Landfill Gas Recovery in the Northeast and, (2) Comparative Analysis of Landfill Gas Utilization Technologies. This paper presents the findings of the first study and an introduction to the second study.
