The fields of southern Indiana are an unlikely proving ground for BP Plc’s $4.1 billion bet on renewable natural gas.
There, in the small, rural town of Medora, a first-of-its-kind modular facility will start operating on Wednesday, converting waste gas released from decomposing trash in the area’s landfill into a pipeline-ready product. BP hopes the facility is just the start of things to come: The company has five more modular facilities on track to go online this year and plans to commission as many as 20 around the country annually.
