[USA] Archaea Energy, Waste Connections open RNG plant in Pennsylvania

On August 22, 2024, Archaea Energy, subsidiary of BP, and Texas- based Waste Connections Inc. have opened their first renewable energy gas (RNG) plant in Pennsylvania. [1] The plant is located next to the Bethlehem Landfill, which came online in July. The CEO of Archaea stated that the company has brought six plants online to date and intends to continue capturing landfill emissions. The Bethlehem Landfill plant can process almost 3,500 standard cubic feet of landfill gas per minute into RNG, which can heat up to 14,000 homes yearly. The partnership between Archaea and Waste Connections has lasted for years; Archaea also owns RNG plants next to Waste Connections landfills in Nebraska, New York, and Oklahoma. In Washington, Oregon, and Colorado, the companies have plants that convert landfill gas to electricity.
