Co-locating Anaerobic Digestion facilities at Landfills

Five Advantages of Co-locating Anaerobic Digestion facilities at Landfills

1 - Speed of Gas Recovery

The most significant advantage is the dramatic reduction in time required to recover gas. With a landfill gas collection system, it takes 20 years to collect the gas gradually, but ECONWARD’s innovation accomplishes the same result in just 20 days. This speed allows for quicker returns on investment.

2 - Increased Energy Output 

ECONWARD's system not only recovers gas faster but also captures all the biomethane potential. This means a significantly larger volume of energy could be harnessed from the same ton of organic waste, making it a more efficient and sustainable energy source.

3 - Reduced Environmental Impact

Rapid gas capture reduces the environmental impact of the landfill. It decreases the release of harmful methane emissions into the atmosphere, which is a potent greenhouse gas, and helps lower the landfill's carbon footprint.

4 - Improved Resource Utilization

ECONWARD’s innovation makes more efficient use of the resources, ensuring that every bit of the organic waste contributes to energy production; enabling the clean, pathogen free non organic fraction to also be recycled. This sustainable approach reduces waste and promotes responsible resource management.

5 - Economic Benefits

The rapid recovery of biomethane has economic benefits for the community. It provides a more consistent and higher volume of energy for local use or sale, which could lead to increased revenue for the town.

Conclusion

ECONWARD’s innovation not only transforms the way a city manages its landfill but also sets an example of how advancements in technology and ideas could bring about positive change. The advantages of our rapid organic capture system are not only environmentally beneficial but also economically rewarding for the entire community, proving that innovation could lead to a brighter and more sustainable future.
