Currently all my city is doing with the methane that come from its garbage dumb is to burn it in order to reduce odors, but they are planning soon to add a generator, that will:
- get rid of a gaz that is 20 times worst than CO2 at creating the greenhouse effect
- generate electricity from a fuel that is free, and since the electricity is local, it reduces transmission line loses, and create local jobs.
- the heat generated will be used to heat a greenhouse during the winter, and so create jobs and reduce transportation fees and fuel.
- and create revenues for the city.
Not bad for something that was just a nuisance.
