Methane Control:  Landfill and Digester Gas

Methane (CH4) is created by many processes of the industrialized world.  It is a powerful greenhouse gas whose capture and conversion into harmless substances has become a priority in the fight against global warming.  Methane emissions arise from a variety of sources including the anaerobic (without oxygen) decomposition of waste in landfills, the treatment of wastewater, coal mines, incomplete fossil fuel combustion and other industrial processes.  Zero Energy Institute Landfill and Digester Gas solutions cover the entire value chain from gas collection to conversion and eet strict California emission requirements.  ZEI’s focus on methane control in landfill and wastewater environments means we are dedicated to the installation of the most environmentally sound technology available without sacrificing reliability and low operating costs.  Clients benefit from our deployment of low temperature fuel cell gas conversion equipment with the generation of reen electricity, hydrogen and other marketable materials.
