Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog!
Did anyone see
the Tank Storage News America Newsletter on October 20, 2023, they had an
article called, “Vision RNG celebrates grand opening and ribbon cutting of LFG
to RNG plant”? The article speaks about the
opening celebration earlier in October in Bowling Green, Missouri Vision RNG and Meridian Waste’s first land fill gas (LFG)
to renewable natural gas (RNG) plant at Meridian’s Eagle Ridge Landfill
which is the first of its kind in Missouri.
This partnership is taking greenhouse gases like methane and carbon
dioxide which are normally flared at a landfill, capturing it, and sending it
to the plant to make RNG. The RNG is
then pipelined through the Panhandle Eastern pipeline to U.S. Energy who bought it to supply to
its customers. This partnership is a win-win
for the environment and for renewable energy.
The plant will take 1500 standard cubic feet per minute of the landfill’s
LFG, and it will make approximately 350,000 MMBtu/year of RNG. Vision RNG has many more plants like
this opening in the next two years including two more with Meridian. Projects like this are on the rise in the U.S.
because it’s a two-fer because it helps the environment and helps feed our
hunger for energy. If you would like to read more of the article
