The Hangout is proud to be the first participating business in Baldwin EMC’s Green Power Choice Program to purchase 100 percent Green Energy. The program offers residential and business partners the option of purchasing renewable landfill to methane gas energy.

This process begins with the disposal of organic-rich solid waste into sanitary landfills. As the waste decomposes, methane gas is produced. This gas is recovered by a series of wells drilled into the landfill and interconnected by a common collection system that transports the gas to a compression facility.

There, the gas is compressed, dried and filtered before being sent through turbines or engines to produce electricity.  

Hangout officials hope participation in the program will encourage other local businesses to participate in this project and proactively support and promote conservation of natural resources and development of renewable energy resources.

The Hangout’s commitment to purchase 830 blocks of Renewable Energy per month equals recycling 199,200 pounds of aluminum or 732,890 pounds of newspaper per year.
