АНУ-ын байгаль орчны агентлагийн шалгалтаар Republic Services компанийн хогийн цэгүүдэд метан хийн ялгарлын асуудал илэрсэн байна.
ProPublica-гийн мягмар гарагт нийтэлсэн мэдээлэлд дурдсанаар, Билл Гейтс 1999 оны сүүлээс хойш Republic Services компанид эзэмших хувиа 5-аас 38 хувь болгон нэмэгдүүлжээ. Санхүүгийн тайланд хийсэн дүн шинжилгээнд тулгуурласан уг мэдээллээр түүний эзэмшлийн хувьцаа 29 тэрбум ам.доллароор үнэлэгдэж, мөн хугацаанд тэрбээр 2.6 тэрбум ам.доллар хүртэлх ногдол ашиг авсан байна.
АНУ-ын Байгаль орчныг хамгаалах агентлагийн байцаагчид тус компанийн 200 хогийн цэгийн 39 орчимд шалгалт хийж, агаар мандалд метан хийг илүү хэмжээгээр ялгаруулахад хүргэж болзошгүй 1,400 гаруй асуудал илрүүлжээ. Зарим байгууламжид метан хийн хэмжээ холбооны хязгаараас 300 дахин давсан байна.
Компанийн McCarty хогийн цэгт илэрсэн метан хийн зөрчил, түүнийг арилгах арга хэмжээний талаар асуухад Republic Services асуудлыг илрүүлсэн тохиолдолд шийдвэрлэхээр ажилладаг гэж мэдэгджээ. Гейтс 2015 онд уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлттэй тэмцэх технологийг дэмжих Breakthrough Energy санаачилгыг эхлүүлсэн бөгөөд нүүрстөрөгчгүй хувилбар хомс байгаагаас газрын тос, байгалийн хийн компаниудын хувьцаагаа зарсан гэж өмнө нь тайлбарлаж байв.

Since late 1999, Gates has grown his stakes in the company from 5% to 38%, a figure representing $29 billion, the report said, citing an analysis of financial statements. Over the same period, the billionaire has received up to $2.6 billion in dividends. According to the report, inspectors from the US Environmental Protection Agency have inspected around 39 of Republic Services’ 200 landfills, detecting over 1,400 issues that, among others, lead to the excessive release of methane in the atmosphere. At some facilities, levels stood up to 300 times above the federal limit. Questioned over the irregularities found in the methane emissions of its McCarty landfill as well as failures to address them with concrete actions, the company said it always solves issues that have been identified. According to the report, Gates launched the Breakthrough Energy initiative in 2015 to support technologies meant to fight climate change. Moreover, the billionaire sold his shares in oil and gas companies, a decision he explained by not wanting to profit from their increase in value, which would be driven by a lack of carbon-free alternatives.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Microsoft Co-founder Bill Gates has generated up to $2.6 billion in dividends from its investments in Republic Services, a company whose landfills were found to exceed methane emissions, ProPublica reported on Tuesday.
Since late 1999, Gates has grown his stakes in the company from 5% to 38%, a figure representing $29 billion, the report said, citing an analysis of financial statements. Over the same period, the billionaire has received up to $2.6 billion in dividends.

Questioned over the irregularities found in the methane emissions of its McCarty landfill as well as failures to address them with concrete actions, the company said it always solves issues that have been identified.
“We employ hundreds of environmental managers and engineers … If issues are identified, we work to resolve them,” Republic Services spokesperson Rob Litt said as quoted in the report. “Protecting the environment is part of Republic Services’ business.”
