Utilization of landfill gas means its aggregation, treatment and burning, caused by decomposition of organic waste. In addition of the possibility of landfill gas utilization for energy, the reducing gas emissions that cause greenhouse effect, the eliminate unpleasant odor and risk of explosion, and the risk assessment of surrounding villages, are also reasons for landfill gas monitoring and using. Beside using landfill gas, the biogas, produced during anaerobic treatment in brewery, which is a proven and energy efficient way of treatment waste water from brewery, can be also used as a renewable energy source. This paper describes the possibility of joint using biogas produced from waste water treatment in brewery and landfill gas from unsanitary landfill. The brewery and landfill are located near the city of Novi Sad, with small distance between them, about 1 km; the construction of plant for joint use of the produced gases can be realistic and economically approved. Economy of appointment system for using landfill gas and biogas from brewery depends from factors such as the amount of generated gas, the availability of users and potential impacts to the environment. Depending on the amount of generated landfill gas, and the amount and composition of gas generated from wastewater treatment plant, different possibilities of common use of energy by produced gases are presented.
