Abstract
The article aims to evaluate total cost and benefit of landfill gas-to-energy projects. The evaluation takes into consideration not only the costs of installing and maintaining the necessary equipment and the revenues from selling the electricity or heat, but also potential revenue from carbon trading of the greenhouse gas emissions that are prevented by these projects and benefit from groundwater remediation.
