UT Arlington News Center –

Two UT Arlington environmental engineers are adapting a sensor system they have developed to boost methane production in landfills to create an alternative energy source in Ghana.
Sahadat Hossain and Melanie Sattler, both associate professors of civil engineering, have won a $100,000 grant through the Environmental Protection Agency’s Global Methane Initiative to study the feasibility of landfill gas to energy in Ghana, in the western Africa country of about 24 million people.
