Our Green Energy Center
model can help you achieve key goals:
FirmGreen’s
Green Energy Center© (“GEC”) is defined as an integrated
energy complex in which waste fuels, such as landfill gas, Municipal Solid
Waste (MSW) or biomass, is received at a processing center and treated
in an efficient and environmentally sound process to produce electricity,
thermal energy, and alternative fuels. The energy and fuels produced are
available for use by industries within the complex. Excess electrical
energy can be exported to other private or municipal users or sold wholesale
to the power grid.
Methane from landfills, biomass, waste water treatment plants and coal beds can be extracted and cleaned to pipeline quality natural gas using our patented and proprietary process. Further processing can economically produce methanol, or hydrogen for use by alternative fuel vehicles.
The GEC Program provides significant benefits to the sponsoring group, particularly in the forms of waste resource management, water treatment and water conservation, creation of construction and permanent jobs, and generation of increased tax revenue from an enlarged industrial tax base.
FirmGreen works with the local public and private sector to select appropriate GEC sites. For each of the GEC facilities, the energy generation equipment is fitted with the required pollution controls to meet Environmental Protection Agency (”EPA”) Best Available Control Technology criteria or international standards. Each GEC facility is designed to provide the best utilization of local municipal waste and water resources in an environmentally responsible manner.
