Article: Converting landfill gas to RNG in Edmonton
The Clover Bar Landfill in Edmonton recovers landfill gas to generate renewable energy. The site has been recovering and converting the gas into electricity since 2005 and is currently early in the process of developing a new system to convert the gas produced from decomposing landfill organics into renewable natural gas (RNG) for injection into Alberta’s natural gas distribution system. The overarching goals of the project are to increase the environmental sustainability and economic viability of the facility through the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
