Greenlane lands Latin American landfill gas-to-RNG

Greenlane lands Latin American landfill gas-to-RNG
Water-wash systems use counter-flow water to scrub away impurities, without the need for chemicals or heat. The raw untreated biogas is compressed, and then simply flows upwards through a cascade of water. The carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and siloxanes dissolve into the water while the methane does not, separating the two. The methane is then dehydrated providing pure, dry RNG. The water is cleaned of impurities by flowing air through it and reused in a closed loop (image courtesy Greenlane).

Canada-headed biogas upgrading technology supplier Greenlane Renewables Inc, (Greenlane) has announced that it has signed new contracts with a combined value of CA$13.5 million for the supply of its biogas upgrading technology for two landfill gas-to-renewable natural gas (RNG) projects in South America.

Greenlane will supply two water wash upgrading systems, the largest in its product line, each capable of processing enough landfill gas (LFG) to produce up to approximately 850 000 MMBTU annually of pipeline specification RNG for commercial use.

Greenlane continues to build on its success as an early mover in South America, a market that we believe has tremendous upside, said Brad Douville, President, and CEO of Greenlane.

The project owner and locations of the landfill gas-to-RNG projects have not been disclosed at this time. Greenlane’s order fulfillment for both projects will commence immediately.

We are proud to have been chosen to partner on these two large landfill projects and to help efforts to decarbonize the local energy systems. Of the three core upgrading technologies that Greenlane offers to create pipeline quality RNG, for these two projects our proven water wash technology was identified as the most compelling, in large part because it scales particularly well with the size and avoids expensive pretreatment to provide superior project economics, ended Brad Douville.
