Destroying Methane
The simplest way to destroy methane in the biogas we capture is to combust it, converting it into carbon dioxide and water. This significantly reduces its greenhouse impact.
This combustion can be done inside special generators used to create electricity, or in LMS designed and manufactured flares. LMS uses a combination of both technologies at its sites to maximise methane destruction.
Bioenergy facilities
Energy from Methane
Landfill biogas is a mix of methane, carbon dioxide and contaminants. We convert that gas into renewable electricity.
Biogas is produced from decomposing organic waste, so it’s produced around the clock: so are our 100+ generators. Operating in these conditions requires specialist maintenance in such a corrosive environment.
We develop and operate these facilities from concept and design through to construction, commissioning and energy generation. Our generator modules are engineered for performance, delivering industry-leading reliability rates.
Biogas flaring systems
Combusting Methane
Not all landfill gas can be used for energy. Our biogas flares safely destroy methane, destroying a potent greenhouse gas.
Our flares are designed in house and purpose-built for landfill gas. They run 24/7, in all weather conditions — delivering reliable methane destruction.
At larger sites, flares back up power stations. This ensures consistent methane destruction is always maximised. LMS has more than 150 flares deployed across our sites.
