== Economy and environment == [[File:Landfill gas collection from capped landfill area.jpg|thumb|Landfill gas collection from capped landfill area]] Seneca Landfill, near Evans City, captures [[methane]], which it converts to [[renewable natural gas]] at its on-site methane recovery high-BTU plant, LEGO-V. The landfill produces .34MW of electricity, and enough renewable energy to heat over 3,800 homes per year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.senecalandfill.com/landfill-renewable-energy|title=Renewable Energy at Seneca Landfill|date=2017|website=Seneca Landfill|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dep.pa.gov:443/Business/Land/Waste/SolidWaste/MunicipalWaste/Landfill-Methane-Outreach-Program/Pages/PA-Landfill-Methane-Projects.aspx|title=PA Landfill Methane Projects|website=Department of Environmental Protection|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref> This reduces the county's [[methane emissions]], and provides an alternative to [[Hydraulic fracturing|fracking]] for [[Shale gas in the United States|shale gas]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2016/03/08/chester-county-landfill-gas-used-as-alternative-to-fracking/|title=Chester County landfill gas used as alternative to fracking|last=Hurdle|first=Jon|date=2016-03-08|website=StateImpact Pennsylvania|language=en|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref>
