Burlington County SLF has an operational landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) project using a Cogeneration system. The facility generates approximately 4.2 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of landfill gas, of which approximately 3.3 mmscfd is actively collected. The landfill gas contains approximately 45.9% methane content. The gas collection system includes 172 extraction wells. This type of project converts waste-generated methane into usable electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while generating renewable energy for the local grid.
