Kansas landfill methane plant turns trash to energy
Hamm joins Renewable Power Producers to build a 20 million dollar methane gas plant at the landfill serving about 500000 Kansas residents including Lawrence. The system extracts methane via wells, processes it, and sends fuel into a regional pipeline, expected to yield over 4 million gallons annually while reducing emissions and fueling natural gas fleets. Community leaders praise the project as a sustainable asset and job creator with a seven mile pipeline linking to interstate networks.
