In this section, we examine an optional Tools worksheet provided with the RETScreen Clean Energy Project Analysis Software to help the user calculate a number of different values, such as the amount of methane gas available from a landfill site.

This presentation has two objectives: first, to review the basics of the RETScreen landfill gas calculator; and second, to introduce other engineering tools available in the RETScreen Tools worksheet.
