In the last two decades, various studies on greenhouse gas concentration and flow (especially CO₂ and CH₄) have shown their contribution to climate change. This study proposes a sustainable alternative energy generation through methane gas from the landfill in Manaus, based on municipal data. The methodology included field research and analysis of solid waste data. Results indicate that Manaus generates approximately 2,632.156 t/day of solid waste.
