Qnergy Sells Carbon Credits to Climate Investment from Landfill Methane Abatement Project in Utah
OGDEN, UT, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Qnergy, a leading methane abatement solutions provider to the oil and gas and waste management industries, has successfully completed the sale of high-quality carbon credits to Climate Investment (CI), a specialist decarbonization investor. This transaction marks a major milestone in Qnergy's expansion into the voluntary carbon market and a full-circle moment for both companies, as CI is also a Qnergy investor.
'Climate Investment (CI) selected Qnergy's landfill gas abatement credits based upon their high quality. Qualified under the American Carbon Registry, Qnergy's credits demonstrate excellent measurability and permanence, clear additionality and the project delivers strong ancillary benefits for the local community. As a long-term investor in Qnergy, CI is delighted to see the company begin to address methane abatement in the landfill space. CI will retire the credits to offset its residual emissions as part of its GHG reduction strategy.' Matthew Harwood, Managing Director, Impact & LP Engagement at CI
The credits were generated under CLEAR, Qnergy's comprehensive landfill methane abatement and carbon credit generation initiative. The CLEAR program targets closed and unregulated landfills and is designed to reduce operational liability through real, measurable emissions reductions. The program enables asset monetization via verified carbon credits and revenue sharing. Qnergy and Utah's Weber County Department of Economic Development launched a project to address methane emissions from a closed landfill, which is now classified as a CLEAR project.
At the heart of this project is the TORCH4, a methane destruction system powered by Qnergy's highly reliable Free Piston Stirling Engine. This TORCH4 installation operates continuously on previously stranded low-methane landfill gas and generates carbon credits by eliminating methane emissions.
The project is generating verified carbon credits through the American Carbon Registry under the Landfill Methane Capture and Combustion protocol. These credits demonstrate: Clear additionality (carbon credit revenue is the only funding source), permanent methane destruction, and meaningful community co-benefits, including odor reduction and improved safety at the recreational park.
Ory Zik, Qnergy's CEO, said, 'Climate Investment has been instrumental in helping Qnergy reach this point. The sale of these CLEAR-generated carbon credits represents a milestone for both companies. Kudos to our teams for getting this done.'
As Qnergy scales the CLEAR initiative to other landfill sites, this project highlights a replicable model for turning closed landfills into assets, supporting both local communities and global sustainability goals.

New eGates at U.S. airports promise faster screening under Trump's ‘vision'
As part of efforts to 'deliver on President Trump's vision' for travel security in the United States, several airports will soon introduce new technology to verify passenger information. In an announcement Tuesday, the Transportation Security Administration said the change is intended to 'enhance traveler experience.' For now, only a handful of airports will incorporate the technology, which stems from a new TSA public-private partnership, according to the agency. TSA checkpoints are beginning to incorporate new electronic gates to help expedite identity verification at select airports. 'The eGates allow TSA to automatically compare traveler biometrics with their identity document and boarding pass without the need for a human operator, enhancing efficiency and security. CLEAR, a private company operating under TSA's Registered Traveler Program, is piloting these specific eGates in coordination with TSA at no cost to U.S. taxpayers,' the agency said. MORE: Flying soon? U.S. Customs adds surprise checks while speeding process The pilot program is being carried out by CLEAR in coordination with the agency. According to TSA, the initiative does not involve cost to U.S. taxpayers. TSA Acting Deputy Administrator Adam Stahl said: 'eGates accomplish several objectives toward achieving Secretary Noem's goal to enhance TSA security and hospitality.' Kristi Noem is U.S. secretary of Homeland Security. 'This includes creating a seamless, less invasive traveler experience and shorter wait times at TSA security checkpoints. We look forward to rolling out additional eGate systems as we work to implement President Trump's vision for a new Golden Age of American Travel,' Stahl added. The CLEAR eGates made their debut at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. According to TSA, the technology is also expected to be installed later in August at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. According to FOX, the new system in Atlanta is currently available to members enrolled in the CLEAR+ pilot program, who can use dedicated CLEAR lanes at certain TSA checkpoints to bypass traditional processes. The eGates use biometric software to compare a traveler's face with their identity document and boarding pass. Once the traveler's identity and authorization are confirmed, they move directly to the physical screening stage without interacting with TSA staff. The technology arrives as the U.S. anticipates a surge in international travel, with millions of visitors expected for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, the eGates won't be available to everyone. CLEAR+ membership costs $209 per year per traveler, although the company also offers discounted family plans. MORE: Traveler from Cuba stopped at airport after shocking find in bottle Another policy celebrated by the Trump administration as part of the so-called 'Golden Age of American Travel' is the end of the TSA shoe-removal requirement for domestic flights, a measure in place for nearly 20 years. Recently, TSA clarified that passengers may still be asked to remove their shoes if an alarm is triggered during screening. In July, TSA also highlighted Trump administration policies aimed at eliminating redundant passenger checks for international flights. That program is in its early stages and currently involves only major U.S. airlines American Airlines and Delta, which partnered with TSA to pilot the new protocol from London's Heathrow International Airport.
