Trinity Landfill Gas

The Trinity Landfill Gas Project captures and flares landfill gas (LFG) that would otherwise be released directly to the atmosphere at a municipal solid waste landfill in Richwoods, Missouri. The project utilizes a surficial gas collection system, utility blower, and open flare system to capture and destroy methane-rich landfill gas, with no combustion devices existing on-site prior to the project's initiation in March 2011. Thus far, the project has prevented the emissions of over 744,000 tCO2e through the destruction of methane that has a global warming potential 28 times greater than CO2.
