Element Markets Announces Construction of a Landfill Gas to Pipeline Project at the APEX Sanitary Landfill in Amsterdam, Ohio

Friday, Jan 20, 2012

Element Markets, LLC, a Houston-based biomethane developer and leading supplier of environmental credits, is constructing a large biomethane project at the APEX Sanitary Landfill in Amsterdam, Ohio. The APEX landfill gas utilization project is expected to produce over 32,000,000 MMBtu of biomethane throughout its operational life, which is sufficient to power over 19,000 homes. Element Markets was selected to construct the project following a highly competitive process conducted by Environmental Logistics Services LLC, owner of the APEX Sanitary
Landfill, in which some of the country's largest landfill gas developers participated. The project will utilize landfill gas to produce pipeline quality biomethane and associated environmental commodities to be sold into the power and transportation sectors.

"We chose Element Markets to develop this project based upon their
excellent track record and experience in both development and
environmental commodities," says Darren Rizzo, CEO of Environmental
Logistics Services LLC. "They have an outstanding team, and we look
forward to continuing the partnership we have developed with them. The
energy project will create value for the local community in the form of
jobs and tax revenues."

The APEX Sanitary Landfill covers 1,285 acres in Ohio's rural Jefferson
and Harrison Counties. Currently, the landfill is receiving
approximately 1,800,000 tons of waste annually, making it one of the
fastest growing landfills in the United States.

Element Markets' in-house development and engineering staff, with
decades of experience in landfill gas and gas processing-related
projects, will be managing development of the project. The APEX
landfill gas utilization project is expected to be operational in 2013.

Angela Schwarz, Chief Executive Officer and President of Element
Markets, says, "The APEX project will be an industry-leading project,
as the biomethane produced from this plant will be injected into a
pipeline to be used as both a generation fuel and a transportation
fuel. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship
with both the teams at Environmental Logistics and the APEX Landfill as
well as with the local community."
