Air Liquide announces plans to construct and operate a landfill gas (LFG) to renewable natural gas (RNG) purification plant in Walnut, Mississippi, which will enable the conversion of the methane emitted by waste to a renewable energy capable of heating an estimated 4,500 homes per year.

The site, owned by the Northeast Mississippi Solid Waste Management Authority, is operated by national solid waste company, Waste Connections, Inc., and receives approximately 350,000 tonnes of waste per year. The Northeast Mississippi Solid Waste Management Authority is the local governmental agency responsible for managing solid waste disposal and providing environmentally responsible programmes and solutions to the 56,000+ residents of Tippah, Benton and Prentiss Counties.

Bobby Thompson, Chairman of the Northeast Mississippi Solid Waste Management Authority, commented, “This project would not be possible without the collaborative efforts of Air Liquide, the City of Walnut, Waste Connections of MS, Inc., and the Waste Authority. We are certainly pleased to play a part in bringing this exciting renewable energy technology to our landfill operations in Walnut.”

Using Air Liquide’s gas separation membrane technology, the plant will have the capability to purify the methane emitted by waste decay and make it suitable for use.
