Greetings!
| Landfill Gas Power Generation - Turning Garbage into Green |
 |
|
What if you could take three of the major concerns of
the 21st century
- greenhouse gases
- waste disposal
- sky-rocketing energy prices
and combine
them
into an environmentally-friendly source of "green"
energy? Sounds like a politician's dream?

| Case Study - City of Waterloo LFG Power Plant |
|
|
The city of Waterloo, Ontario has been generating
electricity from its landfill site since 1999. The power
plant, which is owned and operated by Toromont
Energy, uses the landfill gas supplied to it to generate
electricity, which is then sold to the Ontario power grid.

LFG power plants are a very high temperature
application. These engines generate a lot of heat, and
this heat is constant. "Our plant is running 24/7", says
Chris Turner, plant operations supervisor at Toromont
Energy.
