Landfill Gas to CNG for Heavy Duty Fleet Vehicles

FirmGreen, Inc. (FGI) of Newport Beach, California, celebrated with the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) as SWACO took delivery of its first vehicle designed to use "green" fuel.

The 2005 Ford Sterling truck with a 12.7-Detroit series 60 diesel engine has been retro-fitted with a fuel system to be powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). Initially, the CNG will come from existing non-renewable sources, but by mid 2008 is projected to come from FGI’s Green Energy Center© (GEC©) near the Franklin County landfill in Grove City, Ohio. FirmGreen's renewable natural gas fuel - branded as gCNG™ - is derived from landfill gas or other sources of biogas.

SWACO currently has a fleet of 27 waste transfer vehicles and plans to phase in alternative fuel systems as it goes through its annual replacement schedule of trucks.
