據(jù)管道新聞網(wǎng)6月27日消息稱，蒙托克可再生能源公司周二表示，將在加利福尼亞州爾灣市的一個城市垃圾填埋場開發(fā)一個可再生天然氣（RNG）項目。

可再生天然氣，也被稱為沼氣，是從垃圾填埋場的有機廢物中捕獲的，可以作為化石燃料天然氣的替代品，從而降低碳足跡。

該公司表示，該項目將由其子公司鮑爾曼電力公司在Frank R. Bowerman垃圾填埋場承擔(dān)。

這標志著蒙托克在奧蘭治縣的第二次垃圾填埋氣發(fā)電計劃，以及2016年委托的現(xiàn)有20兆瓦可再生發(fā)電設(shè)施。

該公司表示，該項目的資本投資估計在8500萬至9500萬美元之間，預(yù)計2026年投產(chǎn)，每天生產(chǎn)約36億英熱單位。

“我們與蒙托克的合作項目支持循環(huán)經(jīng)濟，通過回收廢物并生產(chǎn)可再生天然氣，這些天然氣可用于為汽車提供動力，為家庭供暖，并在我們的社區(qū)發(fā)電。”奧蘭治縣廢物與回收部門主任Tom Koutroulis說。

Montauk Renewables to Build Biogas Facility in Orange County, California

Montauk Renewables Inc. said on Tuesday it will develop a renewable natural gas (RNG) project at a municipal waste landfill site in Irvine, California.

RNG, also known as biogas, is captured from organic waste in landfills and can be a substitute to fossil-fuel natural gas, resulting in a lower carbon footprint.

The company said the project will be undertaken by its subsidiary Bowerman Power at the Frank R. Bowerman waste landfill site.

This marks Montauk's second landfill gas-to-energy initiative in Orange County alongside the existing 20-megawatt renewable electric generation facility commissioned by it in 2016.

Capital investment for the project is estimated between $85 million and $95 million, the company said, with its commissioning expected in 2026 to produce about 3,600 million British thermal units per day.

"Our project with Montauk supports the circular economy by taking a waste product and producing renewable natural gas that can be used to power vehicles, heat homes and generate electricity in our communities," said Tom Koutroulis, director of the Orange County Waste & Recycling Department.
