At The Office . Landfill Gas Recovery Decomposing landfills produce methane which is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Landfill gas recovery captures the methane gas that is being released and convert it into usable energy to generate electricity, fuel industries and heat buildings. Visit the Landfill Methane Outreach Program website to learn more about Landfill Gas Recovery. Renewable Energy Renewable energy is energy that is replaced at a rate greater than or equal to the rate at which it is used.
Renewable energy is produced from renewable sources, such as the wind, the tides or the sun's rays.
Using these sources of energy does not deplete the earth's resources, nor does it pollute the environment. To learn more about renewable energy visit the Renewable Resource Data Centre . Alternative Fuels Fuel switching means the increased use of alternative fuels that have lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from production through ultimate use. Examples of these alternative fuels are propane, natural gas, hydrogen produced from certain sources and ethanol from biomass.
