Mid-Michigan Trash Now Used to Make Natural Gas
The huge methane torches that burned over the Granger landfill are doused, and not because of Tuesday’s rain. The company is using the dump as a source of energy to heat our homes.
Granger’s has been converting landfill gas to electricity since the 1980s, but now it is used to make renewable natural gas. Granger partnered with energy producer EDL and Consumers Energy for the project. EDL takes all the chemicals out of the gases from the landfill and puts the natural gas into Consumers Energy’s pipeline.
