Title: EnergyXchange was featured on UNC-TV
Episode 405 of UNC-TV’s Our State, the On-Air Magazine interviews EnergyXchange’s staff and residents to learn how the landfill is put to use.
"At the foot of the Black Mountain Range in Burnsville, a landfill gas-to-energy project is fueling the creative work of artists and horticulturists at the Energy Xchange. Wells situated over the landfill pull methane to a central collection station sending it to boilers and craft studios. The gas also heats the greenhouses where native ornamental shrubbery is raised and sold wholesale locally. The two-fold aim of this enterprising organization is promoting responsible energy use as well as expanding economic development in the area. Visitors are often treated to the amazing site of watching a work of art being created right before their eyes and can purchase some of them in the on-site gallery."
