Carbon Capture / Credit

The capture and destruction of greenhouse gases has become one of the primary environmental issues of our time, spurring a market for carbon credits. 

Methane, produced naturally by the degradation of organic matter in landfills, is 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas.  The voluntary capture and destruction of methane provides environmental benefits to the community and an incremental source of project value to a landfill owner.

DTE Biomass Energy can expertly assess the potential for carbon credits from your landfill. Additionally, we can monetize those credits for you on the open market by finding a buyer, trading the credits or brokering those credits for maximum value.
