Methane is constantly produced by anaerobic digestion processes in most sanitary landfills. The studies being made of how to evaluate the methane production potential of existing landfills and how to design new landfills in order to obtain maximum methane production are briefly outlined. The sanitary landfill is defined, and the potential methane production from two large existing landfills is evaluated. (JSR)
