Methane Plant At Cedar Rapids Aims To Pay For Itself
The Cedar Rapids Water Pollution Control facility will open a $2 million methane recovery plant next year. It is expected to produce 175,000 cubic feet of methane daily, replacing half the plant’s natural gas use and saving about $600,000 annually. Half of the savings come from lower energy costs and $300,000 from reduced processing of waste.
