Project Outcomes
Landfill biogas, produced from the natural breakdown of organic waste, presents both an environmental challenge and a renewable energy opportunity. Its main component, methane, is a highly potent greenhouse gas with a far greater heat-trapping effect than carbon dioxide. When left uncontrolled, methane emissions from landfills significantly intensify climate change and degrade local air quality.
This project focused on the development of a modular, containerized gas cleanup system designed to remove harmful impurities such as hydrogen sulfide, moisture, and non-methane organic compounds. By delivering a cleaner gas stream that can be harnessed for energy use, the system reduces environmental risks while enabling flexible deployment across landfill sites.
This project builds on M2X’s initial trailer-based version, advancing it into a modular gas clean-up system housed in a double 40-ft container configuration positioned side by side. The design was refined through targeted component modifications, layout reconfiguration, and optimized sub-skid placement.
Additional efforts focused on defining access points, positioning manifolds, and planning electrical connection outlets, with equipment strategically grouped for efficiency.
Project outputs include detailed 3D models showcasing optimized containerized layout, equipment placement and piping routes, high-quality renderings, and comprehensive technical reports to support M2X with scale-up, manufacturing, and global deployment.
