The Northwest Natural Renewables (NWNR) business unit of Portland, Oregon-based Northwest Natural Holding Company reportedly is close to receiving a contract to install a landfill gas-to-energy system in Toledo, Ohio.
The proposed 20-year contract would convert methane gas generated at the Hoffman Road Sanitary Landfill in Toledo into renewable natural gas (RNG), according to a report from WTOL-TV in Toledo.
The report cites Toledo’s public service director Megan Robson as saying that during the course of the 20-year contract the city might garner $30 million in marketable RNG revenue.
A city council member tells the TV station the same contract would include installation of a pipeline at Toledo’s municipal water intake plant designed to collect landfill gas sent there to fuel a combined heat and power (CHP) system. In 2023, the landfill emitted more than 15,500 metric tons of methane, according to the federal agency. It already captures a large amount of that methane, which is piped to the water treatment facility where it enters the onsite CHP system.
