A 38,000 pound container holding four turbines for the gas-to-energy project at the landfill in Lebanon, N.H., is guided into place by engineer Sean Bent, of ECS, second from right, and Sam Stephenson, of Moores Crane, right, on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2024. With construction to be completed in mid-November and power generation to begin by the end of 2024, the one megawatt system should produce enough electricity to offset the needs of all of Lebanon’s city-owned buildings.

Twenty years after the project to burn methane gas produced in the Lebanon landfill to generate electricity was conceived, installation of equipment is underway to clean and burn methane gas, a byproduct of decomposing waste in the landfill.
