Wood Road Renewable Natural Gas Facility

EDL is the owner and operator of the Wood Road Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Facility in Lansing, MI. The facility converts waste gases from landfill into approximately 1.1 M mmBtu of pipeline-quality RNG each year, that displaces about 4.5 million gallons of diesel when used in transport.

The Wood Road Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Facility is the first of its kind in Lansing, Michigan. EDL, Granger Waste Services, and Consumers Energy are working together to provide RNG created from local landfill waste.

The RNG facility will extract and convert around 19,000 tons of methane from landfill gas per year from Granger Water Services’ Wood Street Landfill into approximately 800,00 mmBtu/year of pipeline quality RNG. Using this RNG instead of natural gas displaces about 29,000 tCO2-e (tons of carbon dioxide equivalents) per year that would have otherwise resulted from combusting comparable fossil fuels.
