Ameresco Forward LLC GHG Analysis <br /> May 22, 2011 <br /> Using California Air Resources Board Mandatory GHG Emission program, the Green <br /> House Gas emissions in CO2e from the four point sources at the Foothill Landfill are: <br /> 1. Ameresco Engines, 2 Jenbacher 616 18 bar engines: <br /> 2 Engines = 39.6 MMBtu/hr * 116.376 = 4608 lbs./hr. of CO2e biogenic <br /> emissions <br /> 2. Ameresco VOC Flare: <br /> VOC Flare =6.6 MMBtu/hr *116.376 =768 lbs./hr. of CO2e biogenic emissions <br /> 3. Republic Flare: <br /> Landfill Flare = 102 MMBtu/hr.*116.376 = 11870 lb./hr. of CO2e biogenic <br /> emissions <br /> Flare data from Foothill Landfill Air Permit <br /> As is shown above, when Ameresco's LFGTE facility begins operating there will be a <br /> decrease of CO2e emissions from the site as the Republic flare is permitted for more gas <br /> flow than the LFGTE Facility. In addition, when the electrical power generated by the <br /> LFGTE facility is considered to offset fossil fueled power generation, which would <br /> otherwise generate 13,888 metric tons/year CO2e, the Ameresco plant results in an <br /> overall decrease of CO2e equivalent GHG emissions(O. <br /> (1) Displaced Fossil Fuel Utility Emissions factor from CAMX eGrid 2005. <br />
