Overview
The DANC LFGTE Facility is a 6.4 MW biomass power plant in the United States, converting waste into energy. Operated by Innovative Energy Systems Inc, it supports local renewable energy generation.
The DANC LFGTE Facility is a biomass power plant located in the United States, with coordinates 43.82°N, -75.9175°W. It has a capacity of 6.4 MW and uses waste as its primary fuel, placing it in the small-scale category for power generation. The facility is operational and owned by Innovative Energy Systems Inc. As a biomass plant, it operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act and applicable emission standards for renewable energy facilities. Biomass power plants in the US are subject to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and may participate in renewable portfolio standards at the state level. The facility contributes to local waste management by converting landfill gas or other waste into electricity, reducing methane emissions and providing a renewable energy source. Its small capacity suggests it serves a local community or industrial user, supporting grid stability and environmental sustainability.
Environmental context
The facility's use of waste as fuel reduces landfill methane emissions and provides a renewable energy source. Its small capacity minimizes local air quality impacts, though biomass combustion can emit particulates and NOx. Typical siting near waste sources limits transport emissions.
