Land Fill gas represents a major source of anthropogenic methane emissions. Methane is 21 times more powerful than CO₂ as a greenhouse gas. Our specialist Landfill Gas Group finances and implements Landfill Gas capture and utilisation projects, with these projects qualifying for Carbon Credits under the Clean Development Mechanism.

In many countries, national and local waste management, design, operation practices and general site management result in low LFG collection and utilisation efficiencies. SCC has built an experienced international LFG team capable of providing technical design and equipment specification, in-country on site supervision and management of site operations, in order to maximise LFG recovery and use the most effective technology. The application of SCC’s advanced LFG collection design, integrated into landfill site operations, will maximise stable gas capture, allowing for a higher percentage of end use gas and lower atmospheric emissions.

SCC’s focus is not only on maximising LFG recovery from suitable existing sites, but also in developing new-build land fills from which a cash income stream is derived from the sale of Carbon Credits and on site electricity generation and export.
