Landfill Gas Projects Transform Trash into Clean Energy

摘要

Six landfill methane capture projects, including a 10-megawatt power plant and a project that powers manufacturing at a green business park, recently earned honors from the EPA for generating renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The winning projects, which were announced at the Landfill Methane Outreach Program Conference in Baltimore, will avoid the emission of the equivalent of 165,600 metric tons of carbon dioxide, about the same as the annual greenhouse gas emissions from 31,600 passenger vehicles.
