Qnergy Inc. an Ogden-based methane abatement solutions provider and producer of electric power utilizing Stirling engine technologies, has partnered with Maryland Environmental Service and the Maryland Energy Administration’s (MES) OPEN Energy program to install Qnergy’s first methane abatement at a landfill site in that state.
Qnergy installed its PowerGen5650 to capture and convert low methane content landfill biogas into electricity.

“We are excited to expand our methane abatement program to landfills,” said Ory Zik, Qnergy’s CEO. “The Inflation Reduction Act and Environmental Protection Agency’s focus is on converting methane pollution into useful energy and this is where our generators are the best system of emission reductions.”
“The installation of the Qnergy generator is the first step toward demonstrating the ability to use an otherwise lost byproduct at municipal solid waste landfills,” said Charles Glass, MES executive director. “MES is pleased to work with Qnergy and our county partners on the Eastern Shore, reducing methane emissions and supporting Maryland’s aggressive greenhouse gas emissions goals.”
