FOSTORIA, Ohio (WTVG) – The future of renewable energy is officially underway in Fostoria.
13 Action News was at a groundbreaking at the Win Waste Innovations Landfill on March 21, where the company says what coming next will positively impact the environment.
Construction on a new $100 million Vision RNG facility officially started on March 21, which was National Renewable Energy Day. The facility will eventually convert landfill gas into renewable natural gas.
“It’s an economic driver in the community, it’s reusing something that would normally be a by-product of waste disposal that we all as a society throws away all their material, and we’re turning it into something positive,” said Brian Ezyk, Vice President of Operations for Win Waste Innovations.
The company says the renewable gas produced at this location on Township Road 214 in Fostoria will offset the equivalent of 12 million gallons of gasoline and provide the carbon absorbing impact of 130,000 acres of forest.
“This project is more than just innovation and investment in Seneca County. It also really demonstrates an increase in social responsibility, as far as environmental responsibility,” said Sarah Stephens Krupp, Project Administrator for Fostoria Economic Development. “We just appreciate that this will help our community be more environmentally sustainable and hopefully have a positive impact on our community and future generations.”
Vision RNG says the project is expected to be done by December of this year and will create around a dozen jobs.
“This is just another add-on that creates a beneficial use for the gas rather than just combusting it in the flair,” said Adam Beck, vice president of Project Execution at Vision RNG.
