The FlexEnergy-run project will turn gas from the Santiago Canyon landfill into clean energy to power homes.

BY ELAINE MURPHY
Published: January 11, 2012

http://www.ocmetro.com/t-Flex-Energy-methane-fuel-project-Santiago-Canyon-landfill-1-11-12.aspx

The Orange County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an agreement to turn the decommissioned Santiago Canyon landfill in Orange into a source of renewable energy that will provide methane-based power to local homes. The agreement allows Irvine-based Flex OC Renewables, a subsidiary of FlexEnergy Inc., to move forward with its plans to build a power station fueled by methane produced by decomposing trash in the landfill.

Since the landfill closed in 1988, the garbage has burned off the methane released by its decomposition, releasing the pollutant into the atmosphere. The Santiago Canyon project will progress Orange County’s adaptation to new air quality standards for waste gas emissions, which will take effect in 2013.
