Overview
FCPC Renewable Generation is a 2.2 MW biomass power plant located in the United States. It is operational and owned by FCPC Renewable Generation LLC.
FCPC Renewable Generation is a biomass power plant located in the United States, with coordinates 43.03°N, -87.94°W. The facility has a capacity of 2.2 MW, placing it in the small-scale category for power generation. It is currently operational and owned by FCPC Renewable Generation LLC. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act and associated standards such as NAAQS and the Acid Rain Program. Biomass power plants like this one typically use organic materials as fuel, which can include wood waste, agricultural residues, or other biological matter. As a small-scale biomass facility, FCPC Renewable Generation contributes to renewable energy generation in the region. Biomass power plants can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and support local waste management. The plant's environmental impact depends on fuel sourcing and combustion efficiency, but it generally has lower net CO2 emissions compared to coal-fired plants.
Environmental context
The plant uses biomass as fuel, which can have lower lifecycle CO2 emissions compared to fossil fuels. However, combustion may release particulate matter and other pollutants, subject to EPA regulations. The facility's small capacity (2.2 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint. Typical biomass plants are often located near fuel sources.
