Garbage to Gas: Landfill Methane To Be Converted From Greenhouse Gas To Fuel
A $30 million project in St. Joseph County plans to convert landfill gas to renewable natural gas. The facility is already being built at the Prairie View Landfill in Wyatt.
The process involves removing C02 and nitrogen emitted by the landfill. The remaining gas will be sent off though pipes and sold. A project to capture methane at the Prairie View Landfill and use it to power vehicles is underway. The renewable natural gas facility built at the landfill is owned by Kinder Morgan.
