11 January 2007 -- Veolia Environmental Services and Beacon Landfill Gas Holdings LLC are holding a groundbreaking ceremony for Pennsylvania's newest renewable energy project.
At the Veolia ES Greentree Landfill in Kersey, Pa., a large processing facility will be installed to process and separate the natural gas from the remainder of the landfill gas. This natural gas will then be transported by the project's pipeline to an interstate natural gas pipeline located near the landfill site. It will be purchased by an electric generating company and turned into electricity. The project will capture, refine and utilize the 10,000 cubic feet per minute of landfill gas that is currently produced and flared at the landfill. Based on DOE energy consumption data, this volume of landfill gas could produce enough energy approximately 40 MW of electricity.
