Interface Flooring Systems uses landfill emissions to power plant
The City of LaGrange, Ga., the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Interface Flooring Systems have announced the formation of a partnership to convert naturally occurring methane gas from the local landfill into a green energy source to fuel two heaters and a boiler at Interface's Kyle plant.
Interface estimates it will reduce natural gas consumption at the plant by 20 percent, but the offset of
greenhouse gas emissions is more substantial, the company adds.
