Wasteshed and organics siting studies

First Ground delivers consultant-led wasteshed and siting analysis for compost, SSO-AD-RNG, and landfill gas projects. We combine public registry data with Huff-style market-share screening, feedstock catchment estimates, and competition mapping. Each study is scoped in writing and delivered by email.

What you receive

Catchment and feedstock: tonnage and generator context around your site or region (screening-grade, source-cited).
Competition: operating and registry-listed facilities that overlap your catchment.
Huff / Hoff siting: market-share style capture estimates across distance rings (methodology documented in our wasteshed papers).
Permit and filing context: public agency records linked to nearby infrastructure where available.

Example outputs

See the wasteshed. Quantify the opportunity.

First Ground's Wasteshed Screening Tool helps you evaluate feedstock availability, residuals, and policy risk, so you can move projects forward with confidence.
