13 Green Energy from Community Based Biogas Digesters June 13 th, 2012 Bryan Johnson, P.E. Renewable and Sustainability Leader

14 Introduction Promoting the Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Industries The Forest County Potawatomi Community (FCPC) is developing a 2 MW renewable energy project in downtown Milwaukee, WI Anaerobic digestion project using organic feedstock wastes to produce valuable biogas energy. Renewable energy generation is consistent with FCPC s environmental goals and values. A $2.6 million DOE Community Renewable Energy Deployment grant was obtained for this project. Several renewable technologies analyzed found biogas most feasible. When all approvals are obtained, construction will begin later this year and be completed in 2013.

15 Promoting the Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Industries Project Description Utilize about 3 acres of land Former brown field site, originally tamarack swamp 10,000 s.f. building Two digester tank system Capital budget of ~$18M

16 Project Concept Promoting the Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Industries

21 Promoting the Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Industries Example Feedstock Material Receiving Feedstock can be delivered by tanker trucks as shown. Options are solid or liquid form Feedstock can be sent directly to digester or holding tank (with no exposed on site storage) The FCPC Milwaukee digester project will only accept tanker trucks and all unloading will occur inside the building structure. (no outside operations)

22 Biogas Engine Generator Selection Biogas engines have a long time established track record. The Milwaukee digester project is sized for 2 MW. Two GE Waukesha APG1000 high efficiency integrated cogeneration lean burn biogas engines selected for project. GE Waukesha met critical project criteria and delivery requirements.
