NextEra Energy Resources LLC on Thursday said it and an Alabama
county plan to build the state's first landfill renewable natural
gas production plant.
The electric power and energy infrastructure company said the
project will be located at a landfill owned and operated by Coffee
County and interconnect with a pipeline owned by Southeast Gas. All
the gas from the project will be sold to Southeast Gas under a
long-term contract, NextEra said.
NextEra said it will work with Coffee County to upgrade the
existing landfill gas collection system and build a new renewable
natural gas production facility. The project, which is expected to
create between 50 to 60 construction jobs, is expected to capture
over 16,500 metric tons of landfill methane for beneficial use, the
company said.
The project is expected to begin construction in the second
quarter of 2023 and be operational in early 2024 assuming a timely
receipt of permit from the Alabama Department of Environmental
Management, NextEra said.
