1 Billy Malone DeKalb County Sanitation SWANA TDIBR-Landfills

2 } Sanitation began Collection & Disposal of MSW } Seminole Landfill began disposal operations } Collection - MSW 159,000 Residents & 8,000 Businesses } Disposal ~ 600,000 MSW Tons annually } Density 1,950 lbs per cubic yard Compost as Cover } Site Disposal Capacity 2091

3 } 2000 Started Flaring Landfill Gas } Today Generates 2,400 scfm of raw LFG } Future Projection 4,200 scfm of raw LFG by 2022 } Site has a Non-Attainment rating of 25 Tons of NOx } Green Energy Facility 3.2 MW of Electricity (First - Georgia Power Renewable Electricity Program) } 4.2 Years ROI - Return on Capital Investment } Electricity Generation uses 1,100 scfm of raw LFG

4 } began Feasibility Study Mack Truck & WM } Use MSW Landfill raw LFG to LNG as Vehicle Fuel } Cummins Engine CNG for Heavy Duty Vehicles } Diesel Fuel cost increased to $ 4.22 per gallon } Sanitation spent $ 6,000,000 on Diesel Fuel } 2008 Natural Gas cost increased $ 0.40 per gallon

5 } Sanitation operates 306 over the road vehicles } 2008 Sanitation 1.5 million gallons of Diesel Annually } National Waste Companies began converting Solid Waste Collection Vehicles to operate on CNG } $ 30,000 to $ 40,000 Cost to Convert to CNG } To justify Natural Gas prices must stay stable or you can produce Renewable Natural Gas from MSW Landfills

6 $ / Gal Year Gas Diesel CNG MSW LF

7 } High Btu - Large Volumes ( 3,000 scfm ) } High Btu - Medium Volumes ( 1,500 2,000) } Sanitation began to visit High Btu and CNG projects in California, Ohio and Pennsylvania using test newest technologies } Sanitation applied for ARRA Funding under the Clean Cities Petroleum Reduction Stimulus Grant } High Btu - Low Volumes ( > 500 to 1,000 scfm) Project Pro Forma demonstrate 5 year ROI

8 DeKalb County / Metro Atlanta Alternative Fuel & Advanced Technology Vehicle Project Issuing Authority DOE 110 Applications 25 Awards ($ 300 million) DeKalb Metro Atlanta Award $ 14,983,167 DeKalb Lead Applicant $ 7,080,000

9 } Landfill Gas (LFG) to Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Facility (1,000 1,300 scfm = Million GGE) } Public Access CNG Fast Fuel Station Facility } AGL Transmission Pipeline Transportation Fuels } 40 CNG Solid Waste Vehicles } Retrofit the Service Shop for CNG vehicles } Marketing and Education of General Public

10 DeKalb County Center for Transportation & the Environment Design, Engineer, Construct, & Operate ARC Technologies Project Oversight Management Energy Systems Group Grant Administrator Geosyntec Consultants Owner Gas Processing System Winter Environmental CNG Fuel Station

11 DeKalb County will control Gas Vacuum and Controls Compliance (O&M) First LF Gas is supplied to Green Energy Project SCS Engineers (O&M) Georgia Power (PPA) Second LF Gas is supplied to LFG to RNG Project Energy Systems Group (O&M) First RNG goes to supply CNG at Seminole Fuel Station Winter Environmental (O&M) Second RNG goes to Pipeline Atlanta Gas Light (Transmission) CNG/LNG Fuel Companies (Fuels & RIN s)

12 Seminole Road Landfill H2S VOC N2 O2 CO2 Renewable Transportation Fuels Facility

13 Natural Gas } Fossil Fuel Resources 200+ Years of Domestic Reserves World NG Reserves 3x that of Oil 20% use is for Power Generation 30% Cleaner GHG Renewable Natural Gas } Renewable Natural Gas Resources Municipal Solid Waste Landfills Dairy Farms 500 heads Wastewater Treatment Facilities 90% Cleaner GHG Emissions } Seminole Road Landfill 80 Years Disposal Site Life 100+ Years RNG - Methane Resources

14 MSW Landfill Gas Renewable Natural Gas Production Placed Directly into Pipeline Renewable Natural Gas (RIN s) Waste Water Treatment Digester Gas 5 Million Gal / Day Pumped Directly into LNG or CNG Vehicles Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFS) Farm Centers Digester Gas 500 Animal Herds Brown Gas (Fossil) Electrical Power (REC s)

15

16 } SWANA TDIBR Landfills 525 active landfills flaring gas volumes of 500 to 1,000 scfm This equals 1 Billion diesel gallon equivalent (DGE) annually MSW Landfills can fuel all vehicles coming to their facility with just 1/3 of the landfill gas produced } United States Dependence to Foreign Oil United States is 4.5% of World Population United States use 28% of Petroleum Reserves today 60% is used by the Trucking Industry United States has 200,000 vs. the World has 12 million CNG Vehicles } EPA - Global Methane Initiative DeKalb Sanitation has hosted 14 delegations from foreign countries; Mexico, Serbia, Georgia, Haiti, China, Japan, Canada, South Africa, Ukraine, Venezuela, Colombia, Kenya, Germany, Poland DeKalb Sanitation is an EPA Instructor and Advisor (Indonesia)

17 Reduction in Overall Landfill & Collection Emissions Reduction and Predictable Vehicle Fuel Cost Increased Revenue from the Sale of Natural Gas & Green Tag Attributes Identifying Funding Opportunities to gain support from the BOC and the General Public in a Tight Economy Continued efforts to support the CEO s goal of being a Green and Sustainable County through Innovation DeKalb will have the 1 st Renewable Electricity, Renewable Transportation Fuel and CNG Fueling Station in US
