US cleantech integrator Ameresco Inc is set to build a landfill gas to renewable natural gas (RNG) plant at a landfill in Layton, Utah. The project was secured from Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District (WIWMD), which manages waste disposal and recycling in Davis and Morgan Counties, Utah, and Amerescos will design and build the plant at its Davis Landfill. The RNG processing facility will capture landfill gas, primarily composed of methane generated by decomposing organic waste, and convert it into renewable energy resource. Once in operation, the plant is expected to replace the use of over 8 million British thermal units (BTUs) of fossil fuels annually and reduce the release of over 953 million pounds (432,274 tonnes) of CO2 emissions from landfill gas per year.
