The Larimer County Solid Waste Department will, for the first time, sell methane gas released from the landfill to a Colorado based energy company. [...]
Because the county landfill emits relatively little methane, no company has expressed interest in the gas before, said Stephen Gillette, director of the county waste department.
“The solid waste department has been on a quest to find uses for the methane at the landfill,” Gillette said this morning. “It is now advantageous for this to happen.”
