Metro Gas Recovery - Biomass Power Plant in the United States

Metro Gas Recovery is a biomass power plant located in the United States, with coordinates 42.8506, -88.0697. The facility has a capacity of 9.2 MW and is owned by WM Renewable Energy LLC. It operates as a waste-to-energy facility, utilizing waste as its primary fuel source. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act and associated emissions standards. As a biomass facility, it is subject to regulations governing emissions of pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. The technology employed is typical for small-scale biomass plants, focusing on efficient combustion of waste materials. Metro Gas Recovery plays a role in the local energy grid by providing a renewable energy source from waste. Its operation supports waste management and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. The facility's capacity of 9.2 MW places it in the small-scale category for power generation, serving the surrounding community with clean energy.

The plant's use of waste as fuel reduces landfill volumes and methane emissions, but combustion may release pollutants like SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Its location in a rural area minimizes direct impact on densely populated zones. The facility's age and technology are typical for small biomass plants, with emissions controlled under EPA regulations.
