The Landfill Group and LS Power announced Sept. 9 that Enerdyne Power Systems, a landfill group company based in Charlotte, has started construction on a renewable natural gas (RNG) project at the Twin Chimneys Landfill site in Honea Path.
The Twin Chimneys Power Producers project, which is expected to be commercially operational by fourth quarter 2022, will collect and convert landfill gas into RNG.
The processed landfill gas will be injected into the local natural gas system owned and operated by the Greenwood Commissioners of Public Works.
“We are excited to be a part of this first in the state project for a local gas company to receive processed landfill gas directly into its system for distribution to customers,” said Greenwood Commissioners of Public Works general manager Jeff Meredith. “This project has truly been a collaborative effort between Greenville County, TCPP and Greenwood CPW to make a positive impact on the environment and provide value to the customers we serve.”
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the environmental benefits associated with this project are equivalent to reducing CO2 emissions by more than 28 million gallons of gasoline, which is what it takes to operate about 95,000 cars a year.
Once operational, TCPP is expected to initially produce approximately 1,200 metric million British Thermal Units (MMBTU) of RNG per day and will grow over time to produce approximately 3,000 MMBTU daily. All development, construction and operations activities will be managed internally by other Landfill Group companies.
The TCPP project is Enerdyne’s second renewable energy project in Greenville County and follows the Enoree Landfill project, which has been operating since 2008. That project, which won the EPA’s 2008 Power Project of the Year award, utilizes landfill gas to fuel a generator, creating renewable electricity that serves customers of the local electric utility.
