For years environmental experts warned of the importance of reducing our carbon footprints, but there’s a new chemical threat that’s far more dangerous: methane. Methane emissions are more than 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. That makes them a major contributor to global warming and air pollution. Methane emissions are also linked to significant respiratory illnesses and death. Landfills are the country’s third-largest source of methane gas emissions, but BCCK Holding Company has the solution.
Our wellhead to pipeline total solution ensures the most cost-efficient plant design without the need for multiple contractors. As an engineering, processing, and construction (EPC) provider, we can create turnkey landfill gas processing plants to help your business control its methane emissions.
What Creates Methane?
Methane comes from a variety of sources. The chemical gas is emitted as waste breaks down in landfills. Fossil fuels from coal, oil, and gas production are roughly 95% methane. Methane is also emitted during the storage and transport of these resources. Methane production is a common byproduct of domestic and industrial wastewater treatment. Composting and anaerobic digestion, including natural emissions from livestock, also contribute to the country’s methane gas crisis.
How Can Industrial Businesses Reduce Methane Emissions?
Industrial businesses should consider ways to reduce their methane gas emissions to be good corporate citizens. Any measures they take should be careful to respect the business’s financial and operational goals. Upgrading the equipment that produces, stores, and transports oil and gas is an effective strategy that reduces many of the leaks that put methane into the atmosphere. Methane from coal mines can also get captured and repurposed for energy.
BCCK Holding Company’s Landfill Gas Capabilities
BCCK Holding Company can create a landfill gas processing plant that captures the methane that would normally pollute the atmosphere and uses it to benefit your business, energy users, and the communities you serve. After collection and treatment, methane can get used for onsite electricity generation or made into pipeline quality natural gas.
Benefits of a Landfill Gas Processing Plant
Capturing the methane reduces your facility’s greenhouse gas emissions. This makes the air in your local area cleaner and safer. It also helps offset the use of any non-renewable resources in your operation. Our turnkey landfill gas processing plants can also help your business comply with the U.S. Clean Air Act of 1990.
A BCCK Holding Company landfill gas processing plant can also help your business grow. Repurposed methane can provide a new revenue stream for your organization or reduce your business’s energy costs. A landfill gas processing plant can also create new jobs within your organization.
