Scientific American on Undetected Methane Leaks in Landfills

A recent report from Scientific American reveals that methane leaks from landfills are higher than previously reported. Methane, a greenhouse gas with over 28 times the global warming potential of CO₂, is a major contributor to climate change. The study shows that methane emissions from landfills are often underestimated, making it even more urgent to adopt effective methane reduction technology.

Hydryx is directly addressing this methane challenge. Our automated system continuously tracks methane levels in landfill gas (LFG), enabling dynamic control of gas flows to optimize methane capture. This prevents methane leaks and converts harmful gas into renewable energy, turning waste sites into resources.

Our approach goes beyond traditional methods by using real-time methane monitoring and automated gas extraction, which make landfills part of the solution to climate change. Hydryx’s technology ensures fewer methane emissions and adds value for landfill operators by creating a renewable energy source. Together, we can turn methane emissions into climate-positive resources.
