Construction Starts on a $30M Landfill Gas Facility in Indiana

By the fall of 2023, there could be a fully operational facility in Wyatt, Indiana, that can convert landfill gas to renewable natural gas. The Prairie View Landfill, owned by Waste Management, is currently under construction for Kinder Morgan’s $30 million project. Once it is fully operational, the facility is predicted to be able to process 4.3 million cubic feet of gas per day. 

“The nearby Elkhart County Landfill has an operational facility for producing renewable natural gas, or RNG. The RNG facility saves taxpayers about $225,000 per year. Currently, the gas produced at the Prairie View Landfill is either captured for electrical production or burned off. With the new facility, Kinder Morgan will sell the collected landfill gas (LFG) to its customers in the transportation sector.”
