The air in New York just got a little cleaner. Entergy Corporation today announced the purchase of 34,812 tons of greenhouse gas reduction credits from New York's largest non-hazardous solid waste facility. The credits were generated from the capture and destruction of methane, a byproduct of waste decomposition. Seneca Meadows, Inc., owns and operates the waste facility, which is located in Waterloo and manages an average of 6,000 tons of waste per day. SMI captures methane from its waste through a highly engineered collection system at their facility. Learn More
