Pioneer Crossing Renewable Energy Project Commissioned By Green Gas
Posted on: Wednesday, 22 October 2008, 09:00 CDT
Ewire -- Green Gas Americas Inc., a subsidiary of Green Gas International B.V., announces that its USA-based gas-to-energy project became operational on 6 October 2008. The Green Gas Pioneer Crossing Energy project has a 6.4-megawatt (MW) capacity power facility and the current operating permits allow an estimated 50 million kilowatt-hours of renewable energy to be generated annually. The project is located at the Pioneer Crossing landfill of J. P. Mascaro & Sons ("Mascaro"), in Exeter Township, Pennsylvania, USA.
The project uses gas from the Pioneer Crossing landfill, which would normally be lost through flaring, to produce a reliable source of clean energy, to benefit the local community, environment and landfill owners.
Construction of the gas-to-energy plant began in January 2008 using local contractors and it is now one of the largest landfill gas projects in Pennsylvania. This first phase of the project uses only part of the gas resource at Pioneer Crossing and the company is applying for a permit to access the rest of the available gas, which could enable the renewable electricity generating capacity of the project to be doubled. Green Gas is also working with Mascaro to develop further such projects at their Broke County (West Virginia) and White Pines (Pennsylvania) landfills.
Joseph P. Mascaro III, Pioneer Crossing's Director of Environmental Compliance said:
"We are delighted that gas from the Pioneer Crossing landfill is now being put to productive use. With rising energy costs, it's especially pleasing that the Green Gas solution provides a new source of clean energy, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing the safety at our landfill."
Kai Vorholz, President of Green Gas Americas, Inc. commented:
"The successful commissioning of the Green Gas Pioneer Crossing Energy project is an important step for us in North America. We look forward to building our relationship with J. P. Mascaro & Sons in the USA."
