Co-Gen LLC Biomass Power Plant | United States

Co-Gen LLC is a biomass power plant located in the United States, with coordinates 44.4587° N, -118.7206° W. The facility has a capacity of 7.5 MW, placing it in the small-scale category for power generation. It is owned by Co-Generation Co and is currently operational, utilizing waste as its primary fuel source. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and associated programs such as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the Acid Rain Program. As a biomass facility, it may benefit from renewable energy incentives and is subject to emissions standards for criteria pollutants. This facility contributes to local energy generation from renewable sources, supporting grid stability and waste-to-energy conversion. Its small capacity suggests a role in distributed generation or industrial cogeneration, providing power and possibly heat to nearby facilities or communities.

The plant's use of waste as fuel reduces landfill burden and methane emissions, but combustion may release pollutants such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. Its location in a rural area with low population density minimizes direct exposure risks. The 7.5 MW capacity indicates a modest environmental footprint compared to larger fossil fuel plants.
