Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible

7. Energía asequible y no contaminante

27,000 MWh of thermal energy

produced with the captured landfill gas

9. Industria, innovación e infraestructura

Local infrastructure development

thanks to the construction of a 6.5 miles -or 10.5 km- pipeline to supply biogas to a nearby chemical plant

12. Producción y consumo responsables

Environmentally sound waste management

to reduce the risk of contaminating the surrounding soil and water sources

13. Acción por el clima

75,000 tonnes of CO2e

mitigated on average each year

La solución

This project involves installing a system to capture potent methane emissions released from the 390-acre Spartanburg County landfill site in South Carolina. Once captured this methane is converted into green electricity, which is fed back into the local grid.

El impacto

The Spartanburg County project delivers positive environmental impacts by reducing the amount of the harmful greenhouse gas methane being emitted into the atmosphere from the landfill. This improves the local environment and helps to promote responsible waste management and the transition to more sustainable infrastructures in North America. At the same time, it drives the circular use of resources by converting waste gas into green energy!
