Renewable Energy Company To Build Natural Gas Plant at Sand Springs Landfill
A Sand Springs landfill will supply the methane for a natural gas processing plant that will soon be under construction.
American Environmental Landfill, part of Tulsa-based American Waste Control, already harvests gas created in the landfill to operate an electric generation facility. Montauk Renewables operates the electric plant and will operate the new gas plant as well. AEL Vice President Todd Green said excess gas from the landfill would otherwise be burned, but “instead of destroying the ozone, what we’re doing is cleaning that up and making sure it can be used by the community.”
