  1. AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATIONLAKE MICHIGAN STATES SECTION 2012 Annual Waste Conference WASTE NOT Tuesday, May 15, 2012 INDUSTRY ISSUES PANEL Transforming Organic Waste into Renewable Energy using Anaerobic Digestion and Cogeneration (CHP) Presentation: Optimizing Energy Recovery from Renewable Resources George Voss, President Sustainability Business Management, LLC

  2. Cogeneration Uses an engine to simultaneously generate both electricity and heat which can be used for refrigeration or other industrial processes Was first developed by Thomas Edison in the 1880’s Is one of the most common forms of energy recycling in the world Provides over 85GW of power (9% of US capacity) DOE has set a goal of 20% of US capacity by 2030

  3. System Overview

  4. Perspective

  5. Biogas Treatment

  6. Biogas Design Considerations

  7. Biogas is not Natural Gas

  8. Optimizing Energy Recovery From Renewable Resources

  9. Standardization of Components

  10. System Integration

  11. SCADA Controls – Smartphone Interface

  12. Standards

  13. Maintenance

  14. Important Characteristics

  15. Efficiency – USDOE - MCEAC

  16. Efficiency – USEPA, CHPP

  17. Economics and More Spark Spread Organizational commitment to sustainability Value of carbon credits (GHG reduction due to increase in system efficiency) Recognition for renewable resource utilization Credits from the power company to reduce their need to build additional capacity Potential revenue stream from the sale of excess electricity

  18. . . . . . and More Energy Security Redundancy Reliability Flexibility High Efficiency – Retire older inefficient power plant equipment CHP is always on - not subject to weather variability, light, etc. High Asset Value- Install it, later remove/relocate it with a crane 
