Hello there!

The answer is 92000 tons per year

The palmetto landfill supplies methane (CH₄) for the BMW plant there. The gas is used to operate the turbines used to power the BMW campus. It reduces carbon dioxide emissions because the combustion of methane produces fewer CO₂ than the combustion of other gases like propane or butane, which are commonly used for powering turbines.
