The new Biogas Project is designed to generate 5.6 MW of power and over the next 16 years is expected to reduce PWD energy costs by over $12 million and lower carbon emissions by nearly 22,000 tons per year, according to an official statement released yesterday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Half of the biogas generated from the wastewater treatment process is currently used for processing at the NEWPCP, while the other half is burnt off. The new facility will use this byproduct of sewage treatment to generate electricity and thermal energy for on-site use. According to Water Commissioner Howard Neukrug, recovering the hidden fuel that results from wastewater treatment processes leads to an enlarged energy portfolio, while improving the environment through innovative, green technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As a part of this public-private partnership, the new sustainable development project will bring a number of green jobs to the local community, said Michael T. Bakas, senior vice president at Ameresco. The company will oversee engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance on the project over the course of the contract.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2012\/02\/choosepawind-LOGO.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-36580\" src=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2012\/02\/choosepawind-LOGO.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"121\" \/><\/a>In related green news, wind energy industry leaders, environmental advocates, policymakers and energy consumers now have access to a website,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.choocepawind.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.choosepawind.com<\/a>,\u00a0that promotes Pennsylvania\u2019s economic and environmental benefits of wind power.
