Republic Services and energy partners Aria Energy and BP have announced the startup of a project that converts landfill gas to renewable natural gas (RNG) at South Shelby Landfill in Memphis, Tenn. The project directly supports Republic's commitment to send 50 percent more landfill gas to beneficial reuse by 2030.
South Shelby Landfill is one of 189 active, modern-day landfills managed by Republic Services, the second-largest recycling and waste services provider in the country. Aria operates the project, processing and purifying biogas from the landfill into RNG. BP will transport the RNG into the interstate natural gas pipeline grid and market it to renewable energy customers.
This is Aria and BP’s fourth RNG project at a Republic Services landfill.
“The South Shelby RNG project upholds our ongoing commitment to converting low carbon fuel sources like landfill gas into clean, useful renewable energy for vehicles, homes and businesses,” said Richard DiGia
