Our Board of Directors has approved our entry into the production of "Green Power" or "Renewable Energy". Renewable Energy is energy from any source that can be maintained in a constant supply over time. In contrast, the supply of fossil energy sources such as oil, natural gas or coal is limited.

We have proposed a partnership with the Richmond Sanitation District at the New Paris Pike Landfill to generate electricity using the methane gas, which is a natural microbial process at all landfills (Biomass energy). Although the technology is not new, the concept is new to this region. The commonly used acronym for this technology is LFGTE (Landfill Gas to Electricity). The methane gas would essentially become the fuel source of the generators used to produce electricity.

We are enthusiastic about this project and it is our hope that our customers will share our enthusiasm for providing "renewable energy" to the Richmond Community. The electricity produced would be called Earth EnergySM.
