fueling with biomethane
The Green Energy Center located at Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) is turning trash into renewable natural gas using innovative technology that turns landfill gas into a clean transportation fuel used to power the company’s fleet of dedicated and bi-fuel natural gas pick-up trucks and cars. FirmGreen designed and built this award-winning facility, using its patented and proprietary technology platform, in partnership with the Ohio landfill operator.
