LMOP is a voluntary program that works with businesses, states, energy providers and local governments to convert landfill gas to energy. According to EPA, LMOP has assisted in the development of more than 325 landfill-gas-to-energy projects during the past 12 years. The agency says the projects have reduced methane emissions by about 90 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
