Limestone Renewable Natural Gas Facility

EDL is the owner and operator of the Limestone Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Facility, which is located adjacent to and works collaboratively with the Republic Services Carbon Limestone Landfill, near Youngstown, Ohio.

The facility has the capacity to convert methane-rich gas captured from the landfill into approximately 2.4 M mmBtu (million British thermal units) per year of pipeline-quality RNG, which is used as a cleaner fuel source for powering vehicles, heating homes through the natural gas system, or electricity generation.
