Escambia Awarded For Methane Gas Power Project
February 21, 2011
Escambia County Division of Solid Waste Management was awarded the United States Environmental Protection Agency Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) 2010 Community Partner of the Year award.
On November 15 Escambia County Solid Waste Management was nominated to receive the award for their dedication to the landfill gas industry through their development of Gulf Power’s Landfill Gas-to-Energy Project, located on Escambia County Perdido Landfill property.
Escambia County chose Gulf Power as the successful bidder to develop a 3.2 MW (mega watt) electrical generation project. This is the first landfill gas-to-energy project in Gulf Power’s service territory. The plant has been operating at greater than 97 percent since start-up on October 7.

At least they are doing something good with the gas rather than burning it off like a lot of places. We need to see more of this in our old landfills that are no longer used.
