Golden Triangle Regional Solid Waste Management Authority Power Generation Project, Mississippi: First in the state to generate electricity from LFG, this self-developed project is providing just under 1 MW of green power to Tenneseee Valley Authority's Generation Partners program.
Lime Energy Landfill Gas Energy Plant, Zemel Road Landfill, Charlotte County, Florida: This project overcame high hydrodgen sulfide levels and interconnect issues to generate 2.8 MW of electricity, and will provide waste heat to convert wastewater sludge into commercial products.
Industry Partners of the Year
Enerdyne Power Systems, Inc. developed 3 electric, 1 direct-use, and 1 flare-only project (to expand to high-Btu) in the past year. Enerdyne now operates 5 electric, 3 direct-use, and 3 flare-only projects which span 8 states, generating nearly 8 MW and combusting ~3,000 cfm LFG.
WM Renewable Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Management, Inc., commissioned 6 new and expanded 2 LFG energy projects in 2011, and has 7 additional facilities under construction. Waste Management supplies LFG to 132 projects (electric, direct-use, high-Btu, vehicle fuel, leachate evaporation) in 29 states and 2 Canadian provinces.
Community Partner of the Year
Decatur-Morgan County Landfill, Alabama: Another new project implemented for Tennessee Valley Authority's Generation Partners program, one engine was installed in 2010 and a second in 2011, for a total of 1.6 MW capacity.
