Don’t know if they are still trying it, but at one time, some greeners were trying to extract methane gas from old landfill dumps. Seems the methane was just seeping up out of the ground.

A quick search shows it is still being used.

I just saw a commercial where the spokesman was saying that his plant ran entirely on electricity generated by methane from a local landfill. I don't remember the Company name.
