Basically operations by Sanitation and... I believe DTE supply National Grid (as a customer), which then sells the energy to SI inhabitants. Before the gas is given to NG it's refined at an on-site plant, where it undergoes all sorts of pressure & state changes, has CO2 & byproducts burned off, and gets piped over as a high-BTU product. So "the city" makes money on this process/sale, although the landfill is expected to provide these levels of methane for only a few more decades. - bijan It makes a brief appearance in the video (more extensive coverage was cut).
