A Century-Long Climate Challenge

Did you know that landfills can keep emitting methane for over 100 years?

According to the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) report The Impact of Management Choices on Landfill Methane Emissions (2023), organic waste decomposes anaerobically for decades, continuously releasing methane, a greenhouse gas 80x more potent than CO₂ in the short term.

The Problem

Even after closure, landfills don’t stop emitting. Without intervention, these sites act as long-term climate liabilities, leaking methane into the atmosphere for generations. Methane capture is a race against time—once it's in the air, we can't get it back.

The Solution

Early Landfill Gas Recovery! ISWA’s report emphasizes that installing landfill gas capture systems early in a landfill’s lifespan is one of the most effective ways to reduce emissions. By capturing methane before it escapes, it can be:

• Converted into renewable energy (electricity or biomethane)
• Flared to prevent methane from becoming airborne
• Used in industrial applications

At Hydryx, we believe that landfill gas isn’t just a problem—it’s an untapped resource. Our automated gas extraction systems ensure more efficient methane capture, turning waste sites into low-carbon energy hubs instead of climate threats.

The choice is simple: Let methane slip into the atmosphere, or turn it into clean energy that powers our world.
