Waste to Energy Project

This project involves the construction, operation, and maintenance of a medium-sized modern waste-to-energy facility in a major mid-America city. The project will take pre-processed garbage from an existing transfer station and further process it to produce an engineered fuel. This fuel will then be converted to electricity in a gasification process. The power will be sold to a local utility. The project is expected to cost $188m to build and will make approximately 30MW of electricity. If private money is used to finance this project, it will qualify for the 30% Federal grant program, plus a 10% tax incentive program from the DOE for qualifying combined heat and power projects. A long term contract would remain for the operation and maintenance of the plant. From the solicited bids from qualified bidders, a team that included Dana Technologies has been short listed. Dana Technologies is the technology supplier and Engineer for the proposed project.
