Landfill Gas Market Overview
The ever-increasing demand for energy, combined with the desire for lower energy costs, is the primary driver of the landfill gas market. Process heaters and boiler dryers, infrared heaters, pipeline grade gas, leachate evaporation, and electricity generation can all benefit from landfill gas. The quality of the gas is determined by several factors, including waste composition, oxygen, temperature, physical geometry, and the length of waste disposal. Landfill gas can be used in boilers as a direct replacement for natural gas. It's also used to heat infrared heaters and provide electricity to procedures that require a lot of energy. Each of these factors is anticipated to have a definite impact on the Landfill Gas Market during the forecast period.
However, there are several barriers to expansion in the landfill gas market. Moisture, which is required at a particular level for bacteria to survive and decompose organic waste, is a major market concern. The decrease in moisture causes biological processes related to biological decay to be slowed. Nonetheless, the growing usage of landfill gas for energy generation and the abundant supply of municipal solid trash will provide new opportunities for market participants.

Covid-19 Impact on Landfill Gas Market
As around one-third of the global population is staying indoors owing to nationwide lockdown, stay-at-home orders, and restrictions on movement, the energy demand has sharply dipped. By the end of 2020, approximately, a decline in 5% of the energy demand was been recorded. Also, waning in corresponding gas and oil demands of 4% and 9%, respectively were registered in 2020. Currently, the energy market is at a historic low with surplus supplies. However, the situation is expected to ease up with a lift in lockdown restrictions and end-use industries start operating with great efficiencies.
Landfill Gas Market Segment Overview
According to the Application, Electricity is the most prominent segment in the Landfill Gas Market. The landfill gas can be used to generate electricity for commercial and industrial purposes depending on the quantity available. Landfill gases are widely employed in internal combustion engines due to their low cost and great efficiency. When heat and power are combined, landfill gas can provide an electrical efficiency of 42 percent to 90 percent.
