Located 80 miles west of Washington DC, the project activity is twofold: upgrading and expanding the landfill gas operating system; and installing new generators to repurpose methane emissions into renewable energy. This both effectively manages waste disposal and supplies clean, green electricity to the national grid.
The project is vital for keeping methane from heating the atmosphere and making use of its potential as a sustainable energy source. It also benefits the local community, with 12 jobs created for local workers and the reduction in air pollution improving the health of over 4,000 people who live close to the project area. Finally, 40 acres of land around the site has been protected from human intervention, further enhancing biodiversity and the conservation of our planet.
