The project uses 1,500 scf/min of LFG and produces 375,000 MMBtu of RNG annually, enough renewable gas to heat approximately 8,800 homes per year. (Source: Business Wire)
Vision RNG’s Landfill Gas (LFG) to Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) project at Meridian Waste’s Eagle Ridge Landfill in Bowling Green Missouri is now operational. The project uses 1,500 scf/min of LFG and produces 375,000 MMBtu of RNG annually, enough renewable gas to heat approximately 8,800 homes per year.
“This is the first of several LFG to RNG projects VRNG will be bringing online, including projects in Kentucky, Alabama, South Carolina and Oklahoma,” Bill Johnson, CEO of VRNG, said in a press release.
The Missouri Clean Energy Project is the first of three projects that Meridian Waste has partnered with Vision RNG. RNG production is seen as a carbon-neutral energy solution that lowers methane emissions and reduces dependence while still utilizing current natural gas infrastructure.
“Our business is safely and judiciously managing solid waste collections and disposal so that it benefits the greater community while protecting the environment,” Gregg Asciutto, Missouri area president of Meridian Waste said. “By converting our landfill gas into pipeline quality clean energy, we manage potential odors more effectively, reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, and capture a once wasted renewable resource to fuel more efficient trucks and operations throughout the region.”
