Kentucky landfill becomes new source for RNG May 13, 2021 5:06:pm Summary by: Daniel Graeber Posted in: Kentucky landfill becomes new source for RNG Renewable natural gas company Archaea Energy said May 13 a project in Kentucky sourcing landfill gas for energy is now operational. Working with trash hauler Rumpke Waste & Recycling, Archaea said the Kentucky plant is now producing pipeline-quality renewable natural gas (RNG) using landfill gas from an area site as a source. The Boyd County Sanitary Landfill, located near the Ohio border, processes about 1,400 tons of trash every day, which is now being converted into about 2,300mn Btu of RNG. Archaea said that previous efforts to use the gas emitted from the decomposition of landfill material were unable to produce pipeline-quality RNG unless it was blended with significant amounts of conventional natural gas.
