Ameresco, Republic Services and PG&E Celebrate the Opening of California's Largest Landfill Gas to Renewable Natural Gas Plant
Ameresco, Republic Services, and PG&E have inaugurated California's largest landfill gas to renewable natural gas (RNG) plant at the Keller Canyon Landfill in Pittsburg, CA. This first-of-its-kind 11.7Mwe energy asset in the U.S. is powered by a co-located LFG-to-Electric Plant and is designed to reduce 62,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually.
The plant can process 4,500 standard cubic feet per minute of landfill gas and is expected to deliver approximately 1 billion cubic feet of RNG annually into PG&E's gas pipeline system. This project supports California's goal of achieving 60% renewable energy by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2045, while also advancing Republic Services' commitment to beneficially reuse 50% more of their biogas by 2030.
The Keller Canyon plant created over 80 construction jobs and is expected to sustain more than 25 operational jobs. It began commercial operations in July 2024 and is now fully operational.
Ameresco, Republic Services e PG&E hanno inaugurato il più grande impianto di conversione del gas da discarica in gas naturale rinnovabile (RNG) della California presso la discarica di Keller Canyon a Pittsburg, CA. Questo impianto energetico unico da 11,7 MWe negli Stati Uniti è alimentato da un impianto di trasformazione LFG in elettricità situato nelle vicinanze ed è progettato per ridurre annualmente 62.000 tonnellate di emissioni di carbonio.
L'impianto può elaborare 4.500 piedi cubici standard di gas da discarica al minuto e si prevede che consegnerà circa 1 miliardo di piedi cubici di RNG all'anno nel sistema di pipeline del gas di PG&E. Questo progetto supporta l'obiettivo della California di raggiungere il 60% di energia rinnovabile entro il 2030 e la neutralità del carbonio entro il 2045, supportando anche l'impegno di Republic Services a riutilizzare beneficiariamente il 50% in più del loro biogas entro il 2030.
Il plant Keller Canyon ha creato oltre 80 posti di lavoro nella costruzione ed è previsto che sostenga più di 25 posti di lavoro operativi. Ha iniziato le operazioni commerciali a luglio 2024 ed è ora completamente operativo.
Ameresco, Republic Services y PG&E han inaugurado la planta más grande de conversión de gas de vertedero a gas natural renovable (RNG) de California en el vertedero de Keller Canyon en Pittsburg, CA. Este activo energético único de 11,7 MWe en EE. UU. es impulsado por una planta de transformación de LFG a electricidad coubicada y está diseñada para reducir 62.000 toneladas métricas de emisiones de carbono al año.
La planta puede procesar 4,500 pies cúbicos estándar de gas de vertedero por minuto y se espera que entregue aproximadamente 1 mil millones de pies cúbicos de RNG anualmente al sistema de tuberías de gas de PG&E. Este proyecto apoya el objetivo de California de alcanzar el 60% de energía renovable para 2030 y la neutralidad de carbono para 2045, mientras avanza el compromiso de Republic Services de reutilizar de manera beneficiosa un 50% más de su biogás para 2030.
La planta de Keller Canyon creó más de 80 empleos de construcción y se espera que mantenga más de 25 empleos operativos. Comenzó operaciones comerciales en julio de 2024 y ahora está completamente operativa.
아메레스코, 공화국 서비스, 그리고 PG&E는 캘리포니아에서 가장 큰 매립가스를 재생 가능한 천연가스(RNG)로 전환하는 공장을 피츠버그, CA에 있는 켈러 캐년 매립지에서 개소했습니다. 이 미국 최초의 11.7Mwe 에너지 자산은 인근에 위치한 LFG-전기 변환 시설에서 전력을 공급받으며, 연간 62,000미터톤의 탄소 배출량을 줄이는 데에 목표를 두고 설계되었습니다.
이 공장은 분당 4,500 표준 입방피트의 매립가스를 처리할 수 있으며, 약 매년 10억 입방피트의 RNG를 PG&E의 가스 파이프라인 시스템으로 공급할 것으로 예상됩니다. 이 프로젝트는 캘리포니아가 2030년까지 60%의 재생 에너지를 달성하고 2045년까지 탄소 중립성을 이루는 목표를 지원하며, 공화국 서비스의 2030년까지 50% 이상의 바이오가스를 유익하게 재사용하겠다는 약속을 발전시키는 데 기여합니다.
켈러 캐년 공장은 80개 이상의 건설 일자리를 창출했으며, 25개 이상의 운영 일자리를 유지할 것으로 예상됩니다. 2024년 7월부터 상업 운영을 시작해 현재는 완전 가동 상태에 있습니다.
Ameresco, Republic Services et PG&E ont inauguré la plus grande usine de conversion de gaz de décharge en gaz naturel renouvelable (RNG) de Californie au sein de la décharge de Keller Canyon à Pittsburg, CA. Cet actif énergétique unique de 11,7 MWe aux États-Unis est alimenté par une centrale de conversion de LFG en électricité co-localisée et est conçu pour réduire les émissions de carbone de 62 000 tonnes métriques par an.
L'usine peut traiter 4 500 pieds cubes standard de gaz de décharge par minute et devrait fournir environ 1 milliard de pieds cubes de RNG par an au système de pipelines de gaz de PG&E. Ce projet soutient l'objectif de la Californie d'atteindre 60 % d'énergie renouvelable d'ici 2030 et la neutralité carbone d'ici 2045, tout en faisant progresser l'engagement de Republic Services à réutiliser de manière bénéfique 50 % de leur biogaz d'ici 2030.
L'usine de Keller Canyon a créé plus de 80 emplois dans la construction et devrait maintenir plus de 25 emplois opérationnels. Elle a commencé ses opérations commerciales en juillet 2024 et est maintenant entièrement opérationnelle.
Ameresco, Republic Services und PG&E haben die größte Biogas-zu-erneuerbarem-Erdgas (RNG)-Anlage Kaliforniens auf der Keller Canyon Deponie in Pittsburg, CA, eröffnet. Diese einzigartige Energieanlage mit 11,7 MWe in den USA wird von einer benachbarten LFG-zu-Strom-Anlage betrieben und ist so ausgelegt, dass sie jährlich 62.000 metrische Tonnen Kohlenstoffemissionen reduziert.
Die Anlage kann 4.500 Standardkubikfuß Deponiegas pro Minute verarbeiten und wird voraussichtlich jährlich etwa 1 Milliarde Kubikfuß RNG in das Gasleitungssystem von PG&E einspeisen. Dieses Projekt unterstützt Kaliforniens Ziel, bis 2030 60 % erneuerbare Energie zu erreichen und bis 2045 kohlenstoffneutral zu werden, während es auch das Engagement von Republic Services vorantreibt, bis 2030 50 % mehr ihres Biogases vorteilhaft wiederzuverwenden.
Die Keller Canyon-Anlage hat über 80 Bauarbeitsplätze geschaffen und wird voraussichtlich mehr als 25 Betriebsarbeitsplätze erhalten. Sie hat im Juli 2024 mit dem kommerziellen Betrieb begonnen und ist jetzt voll betriebsbereit.
