Sarasota County’s new Landfill Gas to Energy Facility is now operating on the grounds of the Central County Solid Waste Disposal Complex in Nokomis. The facility is a joint project between Sarasota County and a private company, Landfill Energy Systems Florida. Instead of just burning methane, a greenhouse gas produced by the county's Phase 1 Landfill, that gas is now converted into electricity that enters the power grid. A 15-year agreement between the two parties gives the county the opportunity to have a state-of-the-art facility with no capital outlay and a steady revenue stream based on a percentage of the power purchase revenues collected by the company.
