Overview
Enoree Phase II Landfill Gas Recovery is a 3.2 MW biomass power plant in South Carolina, United States, operated by Enerdyne Power Systems Inc. It converts landfill gas into electricity, supporting local renewable energy generation.
Enoree Phase II Landfill Gas Recovery is a biomass power plant located in South Carolina, United States, with a capacity of 3.2 MW. The facility is owned and operated by Enerdyne Power Systems Inc and is currently operational. It utilizes landfill gas as its primary fuel source, converting waste-derived methane into electricity. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act and its New Source Performance Standards for municipal solid waste landfills. As a landfill gas recovery facility, it contributes to reducing methane emissions while generating renewable energy. The 3.2 MW capacity places it in the small-scale category for biomass power generation. This facility plays a role in local waste management and renewable energy production, providing electricity to the grid while mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from landfill gas. Its operation supports community sustainability goals and aligns with state renewable portfolio standards in South Carolina.
Environmental context
The plant's use of landfill gas as fuel reduces methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, while generating electricity. Located in a rural area of South Carolina, the facility's small capacity minimizes local air quality impacts. The technology involves internal combustion engines or turbines, which are subject to EPA emissions standards for NOx and CO. The plant's age and specific emissions controls are not detailed, but typical landfill gas projects achieve significant lifecycle carbon reductions compared to flaring or venting.
