Gas is a natural
by-product of landfills and has two basic uses — industrial fuel and
electrical energy production. Methane gas is produced by the natural
biological breakdown of organic materials deposited in landfills. The
fuel value is approximately half that of natural gas.
Granger is an industry
leader in the field of alternative energy resources, specializing in
the development of electrical power plants at landfills. Granger began
its first landfill gas recovery project in 1985 in Lansing, Michigan.
This project supplied landfill gas from a closed landfill to a nearby
industrial plant. This was the first landfill gas project in Michigan.
