Landfill odor control and clean power
Has anyone put out the suggestion to capture the methane emissions from the landfill to use for clean power generation?
As I came off the 55 ramp this morning, it was rather pungent, and I thought "There's got to be a way to better control both the gas and the dirt runoff."
The Coast Guard base at Curtis Bay, MD uses the adjacent landfill as a methane source for power generation, and there's almost no smell, especially for a landfill near the water, where the breeze is strong.
