CommonWealth Landfill Gas Project Wins National Award:
The Greater New Bedford LFG Project, a 3.2 MW electric power generating facility
owned and operated by a CommonWealth subsidiary, has been recognized for
excellence in LFG utilization facility design and operations by the Solid
Waste Association of North America (SWANA). The Project is located in
Dartmouth, Massachusetts, at the Crapo Hill Landfill, which is owned and
operated by the Greater New Bedford Regional Refuse Management District. When
operating at full capacity, the Project generates approximately 26 million
kilowatt hours (kWh) of electric power output for sale per year, enough to
meet the electric power requirements of 2,000 to 3,000 typical New England
homes. Operation of the Project also prevents up to 330 million standard
cubic feet of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, from escaping to the
atmosphere each year, while reducing the potential for off-site LFG
migration.
