Preliminary findings and next steps to be jointly presented with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

WAREHAM, Mass., Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LoCI Controls, Inc., the leader in real-time data and control technology to increase methane capture and reduce emissions from landfills, today announced the development of its emissions measurement platform and preliminary findings.

The company's initial emissions measurement insights will be presented today in a joint session with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development, Center for Environmental Measurement and Modeling (CEMM) and Center for Environmental Solutions and Emergency Response (CESER), held during the Air & Waste Management Association's Air Quality Measurement Methods and Technology Conference in Durham, North Carolina.

According to recent U.S. EPA research, "municipal solid waste landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions from human activities in the United States." Historically, methane emissions from landfills have often been underestimated, underpinning the growing need to focus on accurate measurement.

The latest addition to LoCI's real-time data and control system, the company's emissions measurement platform will capture emissions data continuously and at the same time as its gas collection system data, enabling landfill teams to act on the data faster and with greater precision — a true first in the landfill industry. This real-time information will offer landfills visibility into emission sources and hotspots, with data available from both temporal and spatial perspectives, to support proactive landfill gas collection operations.

"LoCI is uniquely positioned to leverage our core technical expertise to expand our system capabilities to include real-time emissions measurement. This development will support landfill operators, offering real-time data to enhance gas collection operations and align with landfill owners' emissions reduction and sustainability goals," said Peter Quigley, CEO and Chairman of LoCI Controls.
