And nearly every community in America has a dump nearby. In more populous areas of the nation, landfill space is no longer available in close proximity to the people who produce the trash. And we Americans really produce a lot of it. Americans produce around 250 million tons of waste annually, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. That’s about 4.6 pounds of trash per person every day, and less than one-quarter of it is recycled.


Just like most other communities, Pocatello buries what it doesn’t recycle.
In the past, the Gate City buried all its waste. Worse yet, when the city began to grow it chose a spot to the southwest of the city to dispose of all the material we throw away. More than a century ago we didn’t understand that the location of what would become the Bannock County Landfill sits atop the source of much of the city’s drinking water — the Portneuf Aquifer.
And our garbage dump is upstream.
In retrospect, it would have been much wiser to locate our landfill in the drier hills to the southeast of the Portneuf River Valley, where the railroad gave rise to one of the larger concentrations of people in the Gem State. But hindsight is always better.
What we should be happy about is the fact that changes have been made to the landfill in Bannock County. Many of those changes were dictated by federal rules and regulations. But nonetheless they were necessary to maintain a relatively clean water supply and reduce future problems.
Over the years, landfill areas were lined to stop seepage into the aquifer below.
Extremely toxic materials like solvents were given special treatment. And efforts began to recycle more of the waste.
This week Bannock County celebrated a milestone in the operation of its landfill with the startup of a power plant that converts methane gas into electrical energy. It is only one of three such facilities in the state.
According to the compliance manager for the $4.5 million project, the facility will convert 304 cubic feet of methane gas per minute into electrical energy. In one month, that’s enough electricity to power 700 homes. That methane is being extracted from 19 wells on a part of the landfill that was closed more than 20 years ago.
As all the garbage that people dumped south of the city over the years decomposes, it produces methane. And now that potentially harmful greenhouse gas is being converted into useful energy. The electricity generated by the operation is sold to Idaho Power and goes on the electrical grid that serves the entire region.
The EPA calls these ventures Landfill Gas, or LFG, projects and they are being promoted all over the nation. The reason is simple. For every million tons of landfill waste deposited in the country, about 432,000 cubic feet per day of landfill gases are produced. And the waste continues to produce this methane gas for as many as 20 to 30 years.
According to the Bannock County commissioners, most of the cost for the Pocatello project came from landfill fees — the price people pay to dispose of the garbage they produce. And with a fully operational plant generating electricity from that waste, it should save about $10 million over the next 15 years.
The successful completion of the Bannock County Landfill gas-to-energy project stands in stark contrast to the mess Ada County found itself in when it became mired in a similar project with an Eagle-based company called Dynamis two years ago. That project was cloaked in secret meetings and ended up being the subject of a criminal investigations before being scrapped.
By handling the gas capture project in-house, Bannock County managed to make an environmentally smart landfill move without the stink. We applaud them.

May 2nd, 2014 | By Environmental Headlines -- CT environmental news | Category: Business
DANBURY, Conn., May 1, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FuelCell Energy, Inc. a manufacturer of fuel cell power plants, announced the development of a project to install a 1.4 megawatt fuel cell power plant at the University of Bridgeport that will supply approximately 80 percent of the campus power needs.

On-site power generation provides energy security and power reliability to the University operations as the fuel cell power plant will operate as a micro-grid, capable of operating independently from the electric grid. The ultra-clean emission profile of the fuel cell power generation advances the sustainability goals of the University. FuelCell Energy will install, operate and maintain the plant, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2014. The University of Bridgeport, a private institution with total enrollment of about 4,800 students and located in Bridgeport, Connecticut, will purchase the electricity and heat under a multi-year power purchase agreement.

“Sustainable and affordable energy is an increasingly important component of the new energy mix at the University of Bridgeport,” said Neil Albert Salonen, President, University of Bridgeport. “Our Renewable Energy Research Lab evaluates technologies in energy conversion, utilization and storage in fuel cells, solar, wind, and hybrid systems. This lab is motivated by the strong need to prepare the next generation of inter-disciplinary engineers with a comprehensive background in sustainable energy and this fuel cell installation will help us achieve our goals by enabling us to practice what we teach.”

“We are pleased to be providing the University of Bridgeport with an on-site power generation solution that meets their financial returns and sustainability goals and enhances campus energy security,” said Chip Bottone, President and Chief Executive Officer, FuelCell Energy, Inc. “Universities are ideal candidates for our ultra-clean and efficient fuel cell power plants due to their power usage profile that requires baseload power, desire for sustainable power generation, need for energy security, and demand for reliability that on-site power generation provides.”

The University will benefit from the plant’s combined heat and power (CHP) capabilities as the same unit of fuel generates both ultra-clean power and usable high quality heat. By reducing usage of combustion based boilers for heat, the University will enjoy cost savings and a reduction in pollutants and CO2 emissions from the existing boiler. The heat will be used to generate hot water for heating the University recreation center, a dormitory and campus apartments. The project enhances the campus micro-grid with capital improvements to the University power infrastructure and the ability of the fuel cell power plant to continue to provide power to the campus should the utility grid experience an extended outage.

Since the fuel cell power plant generates power without combustion, its exhaust is virtually pollution-free. Compared to the electric grid, the fuel cell installation will annually avoid the emission of 28 tons of smog-producing nitrogen oxide (NOx), 64 tons of sulfur dioxide (SOx) that causes acid rain, 3000 pounds of particulate matter (PM10) that can aggravate asthma, and more than 7,000 tons of CO2, a greenhouse gas, which is equivalent to removing more than 1,000 cars from the road.

This project is part of the state of Connecticut’s Low-emission Renewable Energy Credit (LREC) program that supports the adoption of environmentally friendly and affordable distributed power generation and reinforces State and local level energy policies and goals. Participants receive renewable energy credit payments for each megawatt hour of power produced due to the high efficiency and the virtual lack of pollutants from a fuel cell power plant.

FuelCell Energy is undertaking this project development and expects to close on permanent financing on or before the commercial operation date of the power plant. The University of Bridgeport has entered into a multi-year power purchase agreement to buy the electricity and heat produced by the fuel cell power plant.

Fuel cells electrochemically convert a fuel source into electricity and heat in a highly efficient process that emits virtually no pollutants due to the absence of combustion. The Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) stationary fuel cell power plants manufactured by FuelCell Energy utilize carbonate fuel cell technology and provide continuous baseload power located where the power is used, including both on-site applications and electric grid support. The combination of near-zero pollutants, modest land-use needs, and quiet operating nature of these stationary fuel cell power plants facilitates locating the power plants in urban locations. The power plants are fuel flexible, capable of operating on natural gas, on-site renewable biogas, or directed biogas.
