A methane-rich gas forms when organic material decomposes under anaerobic conditions. Landfill gas forms, for instance, at landfills, and biogas forms in AD plants, in sewage treatment plants and where organic waste is processed.

Methane-rich gas can be collected and used to manufacture electricity and/or heat, and it can be upgraded to make methane fuel for vehicles.
