How IoT Sensors Are Preventing Landfill Methane Explosions
Landfills are the third-largest source of human-caused methane emissions in the US, and when that gas builds up, it can explode. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how IoT methane sensors are being deployed at municipal landfills to detect gas leaks early, prevent fires, and even capture methane for energy. They look at a real case: the 2024 explosion at a landfill in Ohio that injured three workers, and how a startup called SENSIT Technologies is now selling wireless sensor networks that give landfill operators real-time readings. The hosts break down the tech—catalytic bead sensors…
