Methane Plant Near Maysville Begins Construction
KENTUCKY...
As Pike County gears up for methane production, the method used has already gained the attention of the federal government officials who are praising the construction of a plant fueled by methane gas collected from a landfill in northeastern Kentucky. The new plant is the sixth methane gas facility erected by East Kentucky Power Cooperative. Victoria Ludwig, program manager for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Landfill Methane Outreach Program, traveled last Wednesday from Washington for a dedication in Maysville where she told officials their persistence in getting the plant was "impressive."
