Fresh Kills Landfill Gas Extraction & Processing Plant

This 2,000 acres site stopped taking trash in 2001, now it provides heating and cooking energy for Staten Island homes. It's huge- about 2.5 Central Parks! Open space, wildlife habitat, and much more renewable energy generation are planned for the future.
