Breaking Ground: Transforming Waste to Energy - A Sustainable Triumph at Loess Hills RNG Facility
Waste Connections and ESI proudly introduce another landmark project, in collaboration with Kinder Morgan, and bp, unveiling a state-of-the-art Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) processing facility at the Loess Hills Regional Sanitary Landfill in Malvern, IA. This facility, crafted with precision over a two-year span by ESI, features a complex, multi-step processing plant engineered to convert landfill gas into methane, offering a remarkable advancement in the renewable energy landscape.
The Facility focuses on waste-to-energy conversion by capturing landfill gas, which is primarily methane, and processing it into renewable natural gas. This project showcases a sustainable waste-to-energy conversion model by taking a natural byproduct of waste and turning it into energy. The produced RNG seamlessly integrates into Kinder Morgan's natural gas pipeline network. Through an offtake agreement, bp secures the RNG supply from Waste Connections to fuel transportation operations, solidifying the project's commercial and environmental impact in the RNG market.
