This article describes how the city of Glendale found an innovative solution to cut power plant emissions and cleanly dispose of landfill gas. Often when environmental compliance projects are implemented the expense does not produce any additional revenue. However, the City decided to seek a technological approach to environmental compliance that might offer a return on the investment. The City identified LFG from the Scholl Canyon landfill as a valuable low-cost fuel source and a committee of City employees was formed to study end-use options for the LFG. Options considered included: compress and deliver the LFG to Grayson Generating Stations and use it to fire the plant`s steam boilers; build an electric power generating plant at the landfill site and produce electricity with LFG; clean LFG to natural gas-pipeline quality and sell it; and extract CO{sub 2} from LFG and sell it to the food processing industry.
