Montauk Energy

Montauk has been engaged in commercial-scale development of renewable energy facilities for over 30 years. Getty Synthetic Fuels, the forerunner to one of our existing subsidiaries, built a groundbreaking high Btu landfill gas to energy plant at the CID landfill in Chicago, Illinois in 1980. Our longest tenured employee began working at that facility in 1983. Getty Synthetic Fuels eventually became GSF Energy. Over the years, GSF Energy built some of the largest landfill gas to energy plants in the nation. Montauk acquired GSF Energy in the 1990s and still operates two of those large facilities. Our unwavering commitment to renewable energy began at the inception of the industry and remains today. 100% of our energy portfolio is still derived from renewable energy sources.

Landfilling has long been an essential measure that came with environmental challenges. Montauk works hard to transform landfilling operations into environmentally conscious sites. We have a full staff of environmental scientists working to meet the rigorous demands of federal, state, and local regulations. Our wellfield and operations technicians optimize landfill gas collection systems to effectively eliminate sources of surface pollution and odors.  Our high level of skill at operating landfill gas collection systems eliminates environmental concerns typically associated with landfilling operations. Our environmental staff along with our engineering group, are experts at landfill gas collection system efficiency and maintenance. By studying our host landfill operations, we are able to optimize the gas stream of the collection system to reduce pollution and generate reliable renewable energy.  Montauk prides itself in partnering with our landfill hosts to ensure environmental compliance while optimizing gas collection systems to produce high quality fuel for our renewable energy projects.
