Green energy is now flowing from a landfill to homes for the first time in the Province.
The Crane Mountain Landfill is using methane gas to fuel a generator that creates enough power for up to 800 homes.
Marc MacLeod is the General Manager for the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission and says projects like this have been growing in popularity over last four or five years.
He says this is the facility of it's kind on a live landfill in Atlantic Canada.
MacLeod says they're probably one of the largest green house gas reduction facilities in North America because of the project and their work with recycling.
The project will get rid of 61 thousand tonnes of greenhouse gas annually, which is the same as removing 11,000 cars from the road.
