SWACO’s Green Energy Center has received a “Project of the Year” award from the U.S. EPA. The honor was presented at the U.S. EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) annual conference in Baltimore January 13, 2009.

The Green Energy Center transforms gas from SWACO’s Franklin County Landfill into Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for vehicle fuel as well as energy for a 250 kW micro-turbine which provides electricity for the Grove City, Ohio facility. The Center is a public-private partnership with FirmGreen Inc.
