National officials tour DeKalb facility

By April Hunt

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Officials from some of the nation’s largest counties recently toured DeKalb County’s renewable energy facility and compressed natural gas station to learn about the projects.

Members of the National Association of Counties’ Large Urban County Caucus were able to learn about the environmental and cost savings of the projects, which began earlier this year.

DeKalb was the first landfill in the country to create compressed natural gas from landfill emissions, dispense it on site and pipe back additional fuel into a natural gas pipeline.
