A decade ago, Waste Management invested in technology to create natural gas as fuel from the landfill gas we collect. In 2009, we began producing Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from our Altamont Landfill in the Bay Area of California, fueling 300 of our collection trucks.
An additional source for waste minimization techniques in natural gas treating and processing operations is the EPA Natural Gas STAR Program. The Natural Gas STAR Program is a voluntary government/industry partnership designed to accomplish environmental protection through costeffective measures without regulation.
running on natural gas or other alternative fuels by the end of 2015. For the past 30 years, Republic Services has served the greater Boise, Idaho, area with solid waste and recycling services for more than 68,000 residential
Renewable natural gas (RNG) is pipelinequality natural gas made by collecting and purifying biogas, the methane produced from decomposing organic matter. Biogas can be collected from sources such as landfills, livestock operations, wastewater treatment plants, food manufacturing and wholesalers, supermarkets, restaurants, and hospitals.
Identifiable by their unique Waste Industries "Blue Flame" logo, our CNG trucks produce drastically lower carbon emissions, burning clean and natural gas instead of gasoline or diesel fuels. Our CNG fleets are available in multiple residential neighborhoods across Eastern America, effectively lowering our carbon footprint while providing ...
Waste Management is currently the largest single user of natural gas engines in the waste and recycling industry, with over 2,000 natural gas collection trucks in operation in North America, and recently announced the opening of their 50th private onsite natural gas fuelling station.
The City, in partnership with Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., will begin installing new equipment at the Dufferin Solid Waste Management Facility in 2019. The new technology will allow the City and Enbridge to transform the raw biogas produced – from processing Toronto's Green Bin organics – into renewable natural gas (RNG) and inject ...
Natural gas has many qualities that make it an efficient, relatively clean burning, and economical energy source. However, the production and use of natural gas have some environmental and safety issues to consider. Natural gas is a relatively clean burning fossil fuel
Biogas and Renewable Natural Gas Certain businesses produce or handle organic waste that can be repurposed into a clean, renewable fuel source called biogas. When biogas is conditioned or upgraded to pipelinequality natural gas, it becomes renewable natural gas (RNG).
SEATTLE Waste Management says a natural gas pipeline explosion in British Columbia means no garbage, recycling, or yard waste collection for most of King and Snohomish counties on Thursday.
A Natural Fit with the ACE Difference. Safety: Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is one of the safest transport fuels available Natural gas is lighterthanair, easily detectable, nontoxic and disperses quickly.
Interior Department Announces Final Rule to Reduce Methane Emissions Wasted Gas on Public, Tribal Lands. ... The rule updates 30year old regulations governing venting, flaring, and leaks of natural gas, and will help curb waste of public resources, reduce harmful methane emissions, and provide a fair return on public resources for federal ...
1 Billion of Natural Gas Wasted in North Dakota through Flaring in 2012 By Joao Peixe Jul 31, ... explained that "the flaring of natural gas is a tremendous economic waste, and it threatens ...
Waste Management also operates renewable natural gas facilities in Illinois (Milam Landfill) and Ohio (American Landfill). RNG, or biomethane, is a pipelinequality gas that is fully interchangeable with conventional natural gas and thus can be used in natural gas vehicles.
Natural gas can be made from food waste too. Right now, food scraps from restaurants are being collected along with that from grocery stores and large food manufacturers all over Colorado's densely populated Front Range.
