Methane (CH4) is emitted from landfills around the world and accounts for approximately 18% of global anthropogenic CH4 emissions. Despite the existing conventional gas collection systems, a considerable amount of landfill gas that is generated is released to that atmosphere as fugitive gas. Engineered landfill biosystems have been utilized to capture this gas that escapes from landfills with the aid of biological CH4 oxidation performed by methanotrophic bacteria. By providing optimum growth co
