US EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program Web site - What's New http://www.epa.gov/lmop The U.S. EPA's Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) is a voluntary assistance and partnership program that promotes the use of landfill gas as a renewable, green energy source. Landfill gas is the natural by-product of the decomposition of solid waste in landfills and is comprised primarily of carbon dioxide and methane. By preventing emissions of methane (a powerful greenhouse gas) through the development of landfill gas energy projects, LMOP helps businesses, states, energy providers, and communities protect the environment and build a sustainable future. en-us 14 Oct 2009 http://epa.gov/lmop/images/lmop_logo.gif US EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program Web site http://www.epa.gov/lmop May 15 - Funding Guide Updated with New IRS guidance on the Renewable Electricity Production Tax Credit (PTC) http://www.epa.gov/lmop/publications-tools/funding-guide/federal-resources/treasury.html#onea LMOP has updated the Funding Guide based on guidance released by the IRS on April 15, 2013 for how it will determine eligibility for the PTC for renewable energy projects for the year-end 2013 deadline.
