Landfill Gas (LFG) Utilization
LFG Cleanup Technology
FirmGreen
patented and proprietary landfill gas (LFG) cleanup technology can process
LFG into renewable fuels such as compressed
natural gas (CNG), methanol or hydrogen, depending on local market
needs. Methane produced from FirmGreen technology is two to three times
cleaner than required by fuel cells which can convert the hydrogen-rich
gas into electricity without using combustion.
One of our standard 1000scfm landfill gas plants can produce enough clean burning alternative fuels to power more than 18,000 cars per year, assuming an average annual fuel consumption of 714 gallons. This fuel consumption figure is based on an average annual mileage of 15,000 and average fuel economy of 21 miles/gallon.
This provides an annual environmental benefit to the community equivalent to any one of the following:
- Removing emissions equivalent to 22,900 vehicles
- Planting 32,615 acres of forest
- Preventing the use of 277,600 barrels of oil
- Displacing the use of 13 million gallons of gasoline*
* Data based on EPA studies and emissions factors
FirmGreen is a licensee of the patented CO2 Wash® to convert landfill gas (LFG) into clean energy such as renewable electricity and alternative fuels for vehicles.
