Clinton Landfill Gas
Captures methane emissions to produce clean energy while improving air quality in Illinois.
The Clinton Landfill Gas project in Illinois captures and combusts methane from an active landfill site, converting waste gas into usable energy while preventing harmful emissions from escaping. The project is certified under the Climate Action Reserve, one of North America's most rigorous carbon credit standards. It improves local air quality by destroying volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants, reduces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing thousands of cars from the road, and supports the surrounding community's transition to more sustainable waste management practices. The project demonstrates how the United States' existing landfill infrastructure can be transformed into clean energy assets.
