Waste Management plans to make LNG from landfill gas
June 24 -- Waste Management Inc. is preparing to begin operations at what´s being called the world´s largest facility to make liquefied natural gas from landfill gas.
Plans are to open the site later this year at the Altamont landfill near Livermore, Calif., to produce up to 13,000 gallons of LNG each day for use as vehicle fuel.
The trash company is working on the project with gases and engineering company Linde North America.
"Natural gas is already the cleanest burning fuel available for our collection trucks and the opportunity to use recovered landfill gas offers enormous environmental benefits to the communities we serve," said Waste Management spokesman Kent Stoddard.
