Now if the methane could be captured from the big mountainous landfill site in Ghazipur in Delhi we would be laughing.
I gather that methane is being collected from a number of old land fill sites in the UK (partly as it's useful, partly because if it's left there it tends to seep underground to neighbouring properties and do no end of damage - e.g. persistent underground fires) - also from sewage works (traditionally they generated enough electricity to run all their on-site equipment) - but the scale is small compared with what we're currently dragging out from under the North Sea (or shipping in from the far east).
