When completed in 2011, the project will produce 1.9 megawatts of renewable electric power and steam by burning landfill gas collected from a nearby landfill.<\/p>\n<p>Chevron Energy Solutions said it also will complete industrial lighting retrofits in 82 buildings and expand the existing energy management control system. When combined with the cogeneration project, these measures are projected to reduce the base&#8217;s purchase of utility power and reduce MCLB&#8217;s carbon emissions by 19,300 tons annually, equivalent to removing 16,000 cars from the road.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This project is important to the Department of the Navy, the Marine Corps and Dougherty County. And with the help of Chevron Energy Solutions we will surpass our federal renewal energy goals, and fulfill our aspiration of becoming the &#8216;greenest&#8217; Marine Corps installation in the nation,&#8221; Col. Terry V. Williams, commanding officer of MCLB Albany, said in a statement. &#8220;In addition to providing renewable power and energy security and reliability to MCLB, the project provides a valuable long-term source of revenue for Dougherty County. It took the hard work of many different partners to make this project a reality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chevron Energy Solutions will maintain the landfill gas-to-energy facility, pipeline and landfill gas processing equipment. The new facility will house a dual-fuel engine generator, a stack heat recovery steam generator and two dual-fuel boilers. The primary equipment can operate on landfill gas or natural gas, which provides energy security benefits. MCLB&#8217;s use of renewable power will increase to 19 percent, which exceeds the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 mandate of 7.5 percent renewable power use by 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The project is expected to be completed by April 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Green Right Now Reports Chevron and the Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany in Southwestern Georgia today announced the start of construction for the Department of Navy&#8217;s first landfill gas cogeneration project.
