California county partners with LoCI Controls on methane capture project

LoCI Controls, a Wareham, Massachusetts-based developer of real-time data and control technology to increase methane capture from landfills, has announced a project with Yolo County in California. 

This project provides the Yolo County Central Landfill (YCCL) with LoCI's patented landfill gas capture real-time data and control system as well as on-site and remote operating support. LoCI's cloud-connected infrastructure measures key gas collection data in real-time and displays it on the company's WellWatcher user interface.  

"We are thrilled to announce our groundbreaking project with LoCI Controls,” says Marissa Juhler, director of integrated waste management with Yolo County's Community Services Department. “This first-of-its-kind initiative in California will optimize our gas collection process, increase methane capture and significantly reduce emissions, aligning perfectly with our focus on sustainability and innovation. With LoCI's advanced technology, we are proud to contribute to California's carbon neutrality and methane reduction goals."
