Biomass Processing
| Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste to Vehicle Fuel | Chomp Inc. (formerly Impact Bioenergy) manufactures modular, containerized small- to mid-sized anaerobic digesters installed on-site to directly process food waste and other organic waste. The biogas produced can be upgraded and conditioned on-site to vehicle-grade CNG for use in CNG-converted vehicles for personal, commercial delivery, and other fleet use. GHG emissions-related benefits include: diversion of waste from landfills (reduced CO2 emissions from waste hauling and avoided landfill methane), and displacement of conventional petroleum-based vehicle fuels (reduction in life-cycle processing, transport, and combustion emissions). |

Sustainability
| | If PSE collaborates with an engineering firm for the WASTE: Waste Analysis and Strategies for Transportation End-uses funding opportunity, we could make a very strong proposal for working with communities to advance their waste management strategies and provide sustainable public transportation. There are two Topic Areas for this proposal, Topic Area 1 is a feasibility study for a local community, Topic Area 2 is for communities that previously completed a feasibility analysis and need help going to the next step, which includes some experimental work (engineering firm), with air quality analysis (PSE). While the proposal is focused on the engineering support for the waste-to-fuel systems, PSE can make a significant contribution through air quality analysis and cumulative burden analysis. Additionally, PSE can provide valuable information for local community partners that goes beyond the initial information needed for future permits. PSE can develop a more holistic approach for communities and local governmental bodies, helping them with community engagement and feedback, and providing resources like decision matrices and factsheets for future waste management and infrastructure decisions. We can emphasize that a key component of effective waste management infrastructure is community engagement and education on waste, and a strong community communication strategy will significantly help local governments prepare for the future permitting and implementation stages of the waste-to-fuel programs. |

Biomass Processing
| Engineers | Anaerobic Digestion & Renewable Energy Galli Engineering is a leader in Dry Digestion technology to treat organic wastes with varying composition such as the organic fraction of municipal solids waste. In addition, further attention on the relation between feedstock composition, organic loading rate, and mixing regimes is required for continuous dry anaerobic digestion systems. Dry Digestion technology is attractive for treatment of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and agricultural wastes (AW). Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a series of biological processes in which micro organisms break down biodegradable waste in the absence of oxygen to produce renewable energy. Large amounts of waste, including livestock manure, municipal wastewater solids, food waste, industrial wastewater and residuals, fats, oils, grease, and various other organic waste streams avoid getting dumped into landfills. Once processed, this waste is converted into biogas which can be used as a fuel to generate electricity, or further processed into renewable natural gas and transportation fuel.
Anaerobic treatment facility Anaerobic treatment is typically utilized to treat warm, high-strength industrial wastewater containing high concentrations of biodegradable organic matter. This energy-efficient process reliably removes biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS) from wastewater.
Anaerobic processes use substantially less energy, require less chemicals, and incur lower sludge handling costs compared to aerobic treatment options. In addition, the biogas produced in the anaerobic process is a source of renewable energy that can be used to displace fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, or to generate electricity.
Sustainable & Renewable Energy Design Doing so can also improve financial sustainability and competitiveness by increasing efficiency. GE Sustainable Design and Environmental Management staff design and evaluate places, products and services that reduce use of non-renewable resources, minimize impacts and create lasting and vibrant communities.
Energy Efficiency & Energy Systems Renewable and /or conservation energy solutions may include solar photovoltaics, solar thermal technology, geothermal HVAC supplementation, wind turbine electrical production, rainwater collection and utilization, grey water reclamation, building automation, daylighting and passive solar irradiation capture. |
