Overview
Bi-County Gas Producers is a 3 MW biomass power plant in the United States, operated by Cube District Energy LLC. It converts waste into energy, supporting local grid stability.
Bi-County Gas Producers is a biomass power plant located in the United States, with coordinates 36.5406, -87.5444. The facility has a capacity of 3 MW and is owned by Cube District Energy LLC. It operates using waste as its primary fuel, contributing to the renewable energy portfolio of the region. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its associated programs such as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the Acid Rain Program. As a biomass facility, it benefits from renewable energy incentives and must comply with emission standards for pollutants like SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Bi-County Gas Producers plays a role in local waste management by converting waste into electricity, reducing landfill use and greenhouse gas emissions. Its small scale (3 MW) makes it suitable for distributed generation, providing power to nearby communities and supporting energy independence.
Environmental context
The plant's use of waste as fuel reduces methane emissions from landfills and displaces fossil fuel-based generation. Its location in a rural area minimizes direct population exposure to emissions. However, biomass combustion still releases CO2, SOx, and NOx, though at lower levels than coal. The facility's small capacity limits its overall environmental footprint.
