MillerCoors Shenandoah Brewery Biomass Power Plant in the United States

MillerCoors Shenandoah Brewery is a biomass power plant located in the United States, with coordinates 38.3569, -78.6767. The facility has a capacity of 1.4 MW and is owned by MillerCoors Shenandoah Brewery. It is currently operational and uses biomass as its primary fuel source. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and applicable emission standards for biomass combustion. Biomass power plants of this scale are typically used for on-site energy generation or local grid support, often utilizing waste wood or agricultural residues. As a small-scale biomass facility integrated with a brewery, this plant contributes to the company's energy independence and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. Its location in Virginia supports the region's renewable energy portfolio and demonstrates industrial use of biomass for power generation.

Biomass power generation produces CO2 emissions, but the carbon cycle can be considered neutral if the biomass is sourced sustainably. The plant's small capacity (1.4 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint. Industrial zoning typically applies. The facility's age and technology are not detailed, but modern biomass plants often employ combustion controls to minimize particulate and NOx emissions.
