SMALL Landfills – Capture the Methane And Make Energy, too.

How much Municipal Solid Waste is considered the size of
SMALL Landfills / Garbage Dumps?

It used to be I million – 3 million tons of Municipal Solid Waste-in-place.

slide 5 of the presentation

Now-a-days there appears to be no limit to the size of a “Landfill project to produce energy” as long as the people who own it can find
1. an end user for the gas or electricity
2. Funding for the project.

The Landfills/Garbage Dumps discussed in this post range from 360,000 tons to 2.8 million tons of waste-in-place.

fossil fuel is Ancient Waste. But, there’s Plenty of Waste Now!

replacing fossil fuel for energy uses


Are you already a Climate Victim/Refugee?
Are you concerned, upset, even paralyzed by what is happening to our planet Earth?
You don’t know what you can do to help?
You really have not figured out what is going on? So no wonder you don’t know what you can do?

Well, lets think about it this way……..

CH4 Investments Urgent! Today! Landfill Gas (LFG)

One of the quickest ways to reduce Methane in our skies is with such CH4 Investments.

CH4 is Methane!
Methane is half of the GHG in Landfill Gas (RNG).
Saving the planet, at least 1 Landfill a day, every day!

We take the Value from Waste and the Climate Cleans Up!

We Need To USE THE CO2! …..For Industry – Big Market!

10 of the Big CO2 users in the Market!
Some suffer from Shortages!

Bring down the CO2 and USE IT on the surface of planet Earth!
There is a big market for CO2 as FeedStock for many, many, many industries!!!

SHORT – R. Buckminster Fuller


Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we have been ignorant of their value.

America! Clean Cool Air!! – Back To The Year 1800!!!

A Review: Ezra Klein interviews a Climate Clean-up Expert

America!!! Make it happen in the USofA!
The $370 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers oodles of money to get back to Cool Clean Air for YOUR everyday life including tax credits, discounts, and rebates.

BUT, what is the big picture, which of these benefits should YOU use? What will the future bring? Things have already changed, Technology is improving things all the time!

If you have the time and like podcasts….Ezra Klein had a discussion with a climate expert about where we are with the big picture. ….. HOWEVER, I have some comments to make about what has changed since they talked in September.

Finally in the mood to phase out fossil fuel? – Governance

Yes, Governance! One of the ESGs.
WOW! So much is already happening, TODAY, to phase them out.*
– Solutions through the law

“The rules of our world are laws, and they can be changed. Laws can restrict or they can enable. What matters is what they serve. Many of the laws in our world serve property – they are based on ownership. But imagine a law that has a higher moral authority… a law that puts people and planet first. Imagine a law that starts from first “do no harm”, that stops this dangerous game and takes us to a place of safety….” Polly Higgins, 2015

Put back BioDiversity.
Capture and pull down CO2.
Rid the land and water of contaminants.
Slow down water velocity.
Attract native species to return and Heal.
Not invasive
Strong Organic Stablization of land
Much Cheaper than ridged contruction!
