Net Zero Energy Plan for MCLB Albany, GA Frederick R. Broome, Jr., P.E. Director, Installation & Environment Division On behalf of the MCLBA Energy Team of Hubert “Ski” Smigelski, Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Benjamin, CEC, P.E., Mike Henderson, P.E., Nancy Hilliard, P.E., Eddie Hunt, CEM, & our CHM2Hill partners
Overview • Defining Net Zero Energy • Achieving Net Zero • Current Renewable Energy Projects • Future Renewable Energy Projects • Future Energy Profile • “Speedbumps” to Success
Net Zero Energy Definition • Assumed Definition • MCLB Albany will be a net zero energy installation by the year 2020 when it produces as much energy on-site from renewable energy generation or through the on-site use of renewable fuels, as it consumes in its buildings and facilities. • Does not include: • Water • Vehicles • Waste Net ZeroEnergy Renewable Energy Generation Renewable Energy Generation Energy Consumption Energy Consumption
The “Gap” • Multiple mandates to conserve & use renewables, but SECNAV goal of 50% of installations at Net Zero by 2020 closes the “gap” between them 30% Energy Intensity Reduction Renewable Energy Generation
Achieving Installation Net Zero • A balanced combination of reducing energy intensity while also increasing renewable energy generation • Diversity is important • For installation-wide net zero, largest impact comes from large scale industrial scale renewable energy generation platforms • A few large scale projects vs. lots of little projects • Collaboration with local industry and energy providers • The answer isn’t always inside the fence
Current Renewable Energy Portfolio Landfill Gas Roof Solar PV Solar Hot Water Daylight Harvesting
Future Renewable Energy Systems • Landfill Gas, Phase 2 • 2nd, 1.9 MW generator with waste heat recovery system • Ground Source Heat Pump • Multiple well fields for key areas of high energy consumption • Biomass • Local industry provider has biomass plant which also generates steam • Albany to provide steam to electricity generator • Other Renewable Energy Sources (Low Feasibility for Albany) • Wind • Solar • Geothermal to Electricity • Fast Pyrolysis
Biomass – State Level • The State of Georgia produces over 22 million tons biomass per year. • Georgia is prioritizing energy resource development statewide. Only second to improved energy efficiency is “utilization of GA significant biomass resources.” (Georgia State Energy Strategy)
Biomass – State Level Georgia’s most “biomass rich” land lies within a ~50 mile radius of Dougherty County. Feasibility of Generating Electricity from Biomass Fuel Sources in Georgia; The University of Georgia Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development, 2003
Future Renewable Energy Portfolio • Landfill Gas • Roof Solar PV • Solar Hot Water • Daylight Harvesting • Double Gas to Electricity generation • Ground Source Heat Pumps • Biomass Steam to Electricity • Landfill Gas • Roof Solar PV • Solar Hot Water • Daylight Harvesting • Ground Source Heat Pump • Biomass Steam to Electricity
Future Energy Projects Estimated Program Cost: $21.1M
MCLB Albany’s Net Zero Forecast Point of Net Zero Energy
Constraints, Restraints & Challenges to achieving Net Zero • Getting data/control systems that are approved to work inside the firewall/DIACAP approval process • Support within the government to accurately estimate savings & feasibility of cutting edge technology • Measurement & Verification • Contractual, fiscal and technical complexity of large scale renewable projects • Lack of state tax incentives • Challenge of grouping various energy programs together (ESPC, ECIP, EIP, ESTCP, etc...) • Contractual & fiscal challenges of partnerships with local industry and local government • State law (Territorial Act)
