Ameresco broke ground on the project in June 2022 and reached
commercial operation in August 2023. As a result of this
collaborative, long-term partnership, Benson Valley Landfill will
reduce 27,440 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, a figure
that is roughly equivalent to the carbon sequestered by planting
325,899 acres of forests or 31 million gallons of gasoline not
being combusted.
“At Republic Services, our vision is to partner with customers
to create a more sustainable world now and for future generations,”
said Republic Services Area President Larson Richardson. “Our
long-standing partnership with Ameresco enables us to capture
naturally occurring gas created by decomposing waste in our
landfill and convert that gas into a low-carbon fuel source that
reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The Benson Valley RNG facility is
just another example of us living our values; we are Sustainability
in Action.”
Among the many benefits of this project, the completion of this
work ensures that clean energy resources are available for the
regional economy and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions
within the environment. These benefits directly contribute to
Republic Services’ long-term sustainability goal to beneficially
reuse 50% more of their biogas by 2030. This is Ameresco’s eighth
renewable energy project with Republic with another ten projects in
various stages of development, permitting or construction.
"Achieving nationwide carbon neutrality necessitates the
collective contributions of a diversified portfolio of
technologies; there is no singular solution. It will also require a
voluntary commitment to such cause from across all sectors,” said
Michael Bakas, Executive Vice President of Ameresco, “Republic
Services has made such a commitment, and we at Ameresco are
profoundly fortunate to embark on this sustainability journey
alongside them. Our collaboration harnesses advanced technologies
to convert a byproduct of human activity into dependable and
dispatchable renewable energy."
