Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 <br />the project's success. <br />Understanding and protecting our home planet is one of NASA's key <br />missions. NASA monitors and studies our planet from our unique vantage <br />point in space, and our Earth Sciences Enterprise also looks for ways to <br />improve the quality of life on Earth. This project directly benefits the Earth by <br />removing a significant amount of methane, a greenhouse gas, from the <br />environment. We use this energy, virtually pollution-free, for power Hopefully, <br />projects like these will demonstrate the clean, efficient, cost-effective use of <br />renewable sources of energy. -Sean O'Keefe, former NASA Administrator <br />It is very encouraging that a large federal institution like NASA is using a local <br />landfill as a source of renewable energy. This project at Goddard Space <br />Flight Center demonstrates how the federal government can lead the way in <br />reducing greenhouse gas emissions and utilizing alternative energy sources. <br />These efforts should be applauded. -Christie Todd Whitman, former EPA <br />Administrator <br />Last Updated: 8/18/2008. <br />,, E~AGK TO "r~_~' .r''. <br />EPA Home i Privacy and Security Notice ~ Contact Us <br />Last updated on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 <br />URL: http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/nasagoddardspaceflightcen.htm <br />http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/nasagoddardspaceflightcen.htm 6/8/2009 <br />
