WEBER COUNTY & QNERGY RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT

Closed landfills emit methane gas that is harmful to the environment. In September 2023, the Economic Development Dept. partnered with Qnergy, an Ogden-based company and global leader in methane abatement in closed landfills. The County launched a pilot program to abate about 5% of methane from a closed County landfill. Since then, the pilot program has been successful and now, nearly 100% of the methane is being harvested into renewable energy. Weber County is the first county in Utah to undertake this project, which has received national attention.
