Vision RNG plans to transform Greenwood County South Carolina landfill gas into renewable natural gas (RNG) or power after sealing a long-term gas rights agreement with the county.
The Pennsylvania-based landfill gas and RNG developer said Dec. 2 the agreement to purchase raw landfill gas could last up to 25 years. Plans are to spend the next 12 months working with county and landfill personnel to optimize the existing gas collection and control system to determine the amount of gas available, Vision RNG said in a news release.
The evaluation will determine whether the landfill could support RNG production or a power project.
“As our portfolio of landfill gas projects continues to expand, we are making a real impact on reducing methane emissions, capturing that wasted greenhouse gas and putting it to good use,” Vision RNG CEO Bill Johnson said.
If the developer produces RNG, the gas will be used as transportation fuel and for other sustainable purchases across the U.S., the company said. If power is produced from the landfill gas, Vision RNG said it will be sold to the local grid operator.
“By capturing methane from our landfill and converting it into renewable energy, we are taking meaningful action that makes sense both environmentally and economically,” Greenwood County Council Chairman Chuck Moates said.
