Okhla landfill: landfill gas assessment report

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is working in conjunction with the Government of India as part of the Methane to Markets Partnership (M2M), an international initiative to assist partner countries in reducing global methane emissions. M2M promotes the beneficial use of landfill methane, while also reducing landfill methane emissions to the atmosphere. One of the key activities of this cooperative program includes identifying suitable landfills with sufficient quantities of high quality gas that can be used to meet local energy needs. The overall purpose of the Okhla Landfill Assessment Report (Report) is to perform a preliminary assessment of the amount of LFG potentially available to be collected from the landfill and options for the utilization of the LFG.
