Lancaster County Solid Waste–Frey Farm Landfill
Recently named the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Landfill Methane Outreach Program 2006 “Project of the Year,” this plant captures methane gas and generates 3.2 megawatts of renewable energy and heat.
- Greater Lebanon Authority Landfill
By capturing and converting methane, this plant generates 3.2 megawatts of renewable energy.
- Pennsauken Landfill Renewable Energy Park
The energy park includes three renewable energy power plants:
- A 2.8 megawatt landfill gas-to-energy power plant at the Pennsauken Sanitary Landfill
- A 2.1 megawatt photovoltaic solar power plant that produces power for an adjacent industrial customer – Aluminum Shapes in Pennsauken, N.J.
- A 500 kilowatt* photovoltaic solar power plant that powers the landfill-to-gas energy operation.
- Northern Tier Solid Waste Authority Landfill
This 800 kilowatt* methane-to-electricity power generation system allows the landfill to sell renewable electricity on the open market, and use heat from the generator to (1) help decompose organic waste and (2) provide heat to a nearby greenhouse.
PPL Renewable Energy continues to develop new landfill gas projects.
