Westside Gas Producers, LLC (Three Rivers, MI)

The benefits

• Westside Gas Producers now offsets their need to use natural gas by interchanging the fuel with a landfill gas source that is both pipeline quality and renewable.
• By using a green source of fuel, Westside Gas Producers derives income from the environmental attributes of this project.
• This project powers approximately1,600 households and prevents methane gas from being vented into the atmosphere.
• The emissions reductions it provides are equivalent to removing roughly 11,610 passenger vehicles* from the road each year.

Our role

High Btu plants require a high level of skill to operate, maintain, and manage. They are also closely regulated by the government and require strict compliance. The Westside Gas Producers project showcases extremely advanced technology and skill in the landfill gas industry.

DTE Biomass Energy’s highly trained operators monitor the project at all times and quickly respond to troubleshoot any problems that may arise. In addition, DTE Biomass Energy’s experienced Business Development team increased the value of this project by finding and marketing its renewable environmental attributes.
