UT Arlington in the News –
Denton powers about 1,600 homes with methane captured from the city landfill — gas created after the city started adding water to the pile in 2008, the Denton Record-Chronicle reported. Researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington are helping to double that power-generating capacity. The project is the first of its kind in Texas, according to UT Arlington’s lead researcher, Sahadat Hossain. Landfills typically are kept covered and dry in order to limit methane emissions, said Hossain, an associate professor of civil engineering and internationally renowned expert on landfill management.
