Disposing of organic wastes is becoming more difficult and more costly Current practices have negative social and environmental impacts Economic and legislative drivers are forcing industrial and municipal waste generators to see waste products as valuable resources New AD process technologies allow for more diverse feedstock input Result: Anaerobic Digestion is emerging as a costcompetitive Renewable Energy technology
Infrastructure needed to manage source separated and packaged Commercially viable for ICI and residential organic waste Offers Industrial organic recycling Logistically positioned (efficiency and reduces environmental costs) Competitive options reduce the need to mandate Record keeping and reporting for managing information
Shrink the environmental footprint of all our operations Promote the viability of local renewable sources for energy Stimulate research and development of other renewable technologies Demonstrate near-commercial scale renewable energy Build Site projects work in urban settings Provide sustainable waste solutions to the general region and agribusiness sector Development of long-term partnerships with public or private entities seeking sustainable solutions
Facility Renewable Bioenergy Facility Renewable Natural Gas Renewable Electricity Production Organic Fertilizers Economics Up to 20 new Full Time Jobs Over 150 Construction Jobs over 2 years 475 Indirect Jobs; Based on Bureau of Economics Analysis (RIMS II) $30 million Investment $80,000 Estimated in New Property Tax $5.1 Million generated over 10 years of corporate income tax Environmental Local Renewable Energy Source Reduced d Pollutants Air and Water Treatment Groundwater Conservation thru Reuse New Environmental Business Corridor
Urban Pro s Close to a diverse number of feedstock Less logistics, lower cost Getting to the center of landfill problems Urban Con s More arduous permitting Extended timelines Closer to neighbors Design costs and utilities
Build and they will come! Feedstock and contracts Assumptions or estimations Gas production Feedstock values/costs/revenues Proven technology or experimental Proven, but not all together hence new! Future or fad technology
Biogas Electricity RNG CNG Pipeline CNG Direct LNG (others/diversity)
Solids will be produced at the rate of 50-60 tons per day System is to be equipped with a press, dryer, and pelletizer Optional markets exist with organic fertilizer or fuel pellets
In addition to other sources, SaniGreen will take in around 300,000 gallons per day of effluent water from the rendering facility DAF and filtration systems will concentrate the high strength th wastewater t into a sludge for digestion Remaining water is recirculated for digestion or discharged to the MET at low strength sewer quality to the MET at low strength sewer quality Additional effluent/liquids will be filtered and treated on site, then recirculated back for digestion Product and market development efforts for liquid fertilizers
Elimination of County capital investment Removal of permitting and siting concerns No Worries - Operational complexity and support Production expertise and product development Timeline Parallel development opportunity Ability to commercialize, spreading costs = lower fees Quick solution to move the needle on organic recycling Flexibility for future endeavors Private development = Public benefits for the region
Urban concept and technology unlike any other Location Brownfield redevelopment plan approved PUD approved and supported Feedstock Base already developed but still opportunity Gas or electricity Both with fully supported off take agreements Solids and liquids treatment and outlets developed Funding Available
Few hurdles left Understanding and Finalizing Feedstock types and agreements which has impacts: Final Engineering Regulatory permitting (Administrative) 4-6 Months of remediation of the site
Anticipated ground breaking spring of 2014 Construction mid to late 2014 Projected to be operational end of 2015 early 2016
THE HARD PART IS OVER, APPROVED DESIGN AND FLEXIBILITY IN PRETREATMENT RENEWABLE ENERGY SOLUTION PROVEN TECHNOLOGY LOCATION NO CAPITAL COSTS LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP LOW TRANSPORTATION COSTS MOVING THE NEEDLE SOONER
