Description

This dataset provides a summary of information reported by landfills regarding their landfill gas collection (LFG), methane destruction and/or use, and associated emission reductions as required by Section 11 of [O.Reg. 347](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/900347) under the _Environmental Protection Act._ Data includes: * Year * Environmental Compliance Approval Number (ECA) * Landfill Site Name * Site Address * Approved Site Volume (m3) * Is landfill gas collected at this landfill site? (yes/no) * % of LFG volume collected that is vented * * % of LFG volume collected that is flared * Flare destruction efficiency % * Is LFG utilized on-site or off-site? * * % of LFG volume collected used to generate electricity and/or heat * Electricity and/or heat destruction efficiency % * Electricity Generated (MWh) * * Electrical Capacity (MW) * * Heat Generated (MWh) * * Thermal Capacity (MW) * * % of LFG volume processed for natural gas or other fuel * * % LFG loss from processing * * LFG Processed into (Renewable) Natural Gas (m3) * * LFG Other % ** * LFG Other % - Description ** * Destruction Efficiency (%) – Other * Annual LFG Collected (m3) * Methane (%) * Emission Reductions - GWP 21 (tCO2e) * Emission Reductions - GWP 25 (tCO2e) * CO2 generated from Methane Destruction (tCO2) \* new data field collected beginning in 2020 \*\* field not longer collected after 2019
