Loci Controls Announces New Landfill Gas to Energy Projects
Peter Quigley, chairman and CEO of Loci Controls, Inc. responding to the release of a proposed new methodology from the American Carbon Registry (ACR), said today that the opportunity to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and generate voluntary carbon credits through Loci’s Automated Landfill Gas Collection services will create a significant financial benefit for a large number of landfills. In its proposal titled Methodology for the Quantification Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions and Removals from Landfill Gas Destruction and Beneficial Use Projects, the ACR noted that use of an automated gas collection system has “the potential to expand the addressable market, and accelerate adoption for a large number of landfills” due to the opportunity to generate voluntary carbon offsets. Formal approval of the methodology is expected by year-end after a public comment period followed by a scientific peer review process.
“The ACR Methodology is a very important step in creating value related to Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction through the use of Loci’s automated gas collection technology to increase landfill gas collection system efficiency,” commented Quigley. “In addition to the benefits of increased revenue, increased productivity, and reduced ESG risks, it will be possible in the near future to generate new sources of revenue for landfill gas to energy projects.”
