As the consumer consumption and the urbanization rises more solid waste is created. Solid waste generation has increased over the last century to more than 3 million tons per day, with the figure projected to double by 2025. In contrast, waste to energy (WtE) is a very appealing choice for solid waste removal with energy recovery. Due to many benefits associated with landfill gas, it is one of the most important fields of clean energy. Using landfill gas as a green energy source helps to satisfy energy demands while also addressing environmental and health issues. Present study has discussed about the production of green energy from solid waste landfills, landfill gas energy collection and processing system, its different projects and the issues related with solid. Despite the fact that landfill gas energy is profitable in itself there is still space for growth. The future must prioritize the development of this clean energy supply, both in terms of technical advancement and landfill programmes. EFW (energy from waste) facilities would be able to do more than they were planned to do as a result of these continuing developments. This potential commitment to recycling would minimize the amount of manufactured waste that could be disposed of in landfills in a traditional urban environment, bringing us closer to the elusive "zero waste" target.
