Waste Management Launches $35 Million RNG Facility in Springdale
Texas-based Waste Management (WM) has opened a $35 million renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at the company’s sprawling Eco Vista landfill south of Arbor Acres Avenue in Springdale.
According to a WM news release, the landfill gas-to-energy facility beneficially utilizes the biogas generated when organic material decomposes in a landfill.
RNG is a term used to describe biogas that has been upgraded to replace fossil natural gas. Beginning with the permitting process, it took about two years to bring the RNG facility online at Evo Vista. The facility’s first day up and running was May 24.
