About This Project
- This project reduces greenhouse gas emissions by capturing and destroying landfill methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, preventing it from leaking into the atmosphere. Carbon credit sales provide the necessary funding for construction and ongoing operation of this project.
- The Maple Hill Landfill is an active municipal landfill owned and operated by Advanced Disposal Services Maple Hill Landfill, Inc. (ADS) that began operating in 1976.
- Climate benefits are provided by a landfill gas (LFG) collection and control system that was voluntarily installed in 2002 and currently includes 37 LFG extraction wells with associated collection piping and a blower/flare station.
- Blowers are used to extract LFG, a potent greenhouse gas, and send it to an open flare for destruction.
- Landfill gas was never collected and destroyed prior to the project start date, which is now possible through the installation of the collection and control system.
