Landfill Gas
Landfills produce methane as waste decomposes
This can be used as the fuel for cooling, heating or power projects

Conclusions
RETScreen’s Engineering Tools are accessible from within the software on the Tools worksheet
Landfill Gas calculator is a companion tool which is automatically linked to the software when landfill gas is chosen as a fuel type
Other Engineering Tools provide a quick way to add detail or provide secondary information to your RETScreen project (e.g. Biogas)
You can customize and extend by building your own tools
