As Central Maui Landfill grows, a private company touts turning county’s waste into renewable natural gas
Maui currently doesn’t have a gasification facility, and there’s a reason — the island doesn’t have the demand or the extensive pipeline system to support it. But the project developer thinks natural gas will catch on once it is built.
Proposed landfill diversion project on Maui seeks to convert waste into renewable natural gas
E&K Aloha ʻĀina, LLC is proposing a landfill diversion project which would convert municipal solid waste and mixed plastic waste into renewable natural gas. Through this waste-to-fuel project, waste would be sorted, processed, and thermo-chemically transformed for beneficial use, instead of being landfilled. This waste-to-fuel project is projected to result in landfill diversion of roughly 90% of all incoming material.
