Waste to Energy: Turning Biogas into Electricity

November 15, 2007 1:00 3:00 P.M. EST
OVERVIEW Worldwide, biogas is an important part of the rapidly growing renewable energy sector, attracting about $100 billion in investment in 2006. But in the US, biogas is still an underutilized resource. Between 1980 and 1997, American utilities developed about 2.5 gigawatts of biogas capacity in 44 states - and now, after a ten-year lull, the technology is beginning a renaissance. Across the country, in every state and county, about 6000 landfills and thousands of livestock feedlots produce methane, 24 hours a day. The technology to capture, transport and burn the gas for electric generation is available, cost-effective and safe. If not captured, methane boils into the atmosphere and is 21 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Large landfills are therefore required to burn it off - and if we're burning it anyway, it makes good sense to put it to productive use. About 570 landfills and hundreds farm-waste sources across the country are as yet unexploited for biogas. Using non-fossil methane captures carbon credits. Because of its proximity, accessibility, and the current advancement of the technology, landfill and farm waste methane is, in many environments, a viable way to enter the renewable energy market. In this two-hour webinar, experts from Alliant Energy, a Midwest electric utility, will explain how they recover and convert biologically generated methane from its two most accessible sources: urban landfills and farm waste digesters. You'll learn about: The business case for local methane How to calculate the scale of the resource Recovery techniques and costs Associated renewable energy credits Permitting and regulatory issues WHO SHOULD ATTEND Renewable and efficiency managers Rural electric managers Gas and electric utility procurement managers Solid waste specialists PUC staff and commissioners Bankers and investors Legal and regulatory personnel Utility company financial officers ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS Mark Kingland, Technical Sales Support Consultant, Alliant Energy As a Technical Sales Support Consultant for Alliant Energy, Mark specializes in energy management, auditing, and analysis of commercial business operations and helps customers implement process and energy efficient improvements. Mark is also a member of the Bio Energy Solutions Team, focusing on energy analysis and improvements at ethanol and biodiesel plants located in the Midwest as well as assisting customers interested in implementing alternative energy systems such as wind and biomass (i.e. anaerobic digesters) to energy systems. Doug Litwiller, PE, CEM, Project Manager Alliant Energy - Interstate, Power and Light Co Doug joined Alliant Energy - Interstate Power and Light (IPL) in March of 1998 and is currently a project engineer in the account management section of IPL. In addition to helping IPL's large commercial and industrial customers find energy efficiency improvement opportunities, Doug is also the "go-to" person when it comes to bioenergy/biorenewable energy systems. Doug helps educate customers on biomass-to-energy systems, anaerobic digesters, landfill gas energy systems, and will also help customers to implement these systems. Doug is also a key member of a team that has a focus on helping ethanol and biodiesel plants to reduce their energy and operating costs.

WHAT IS A SINGLE SITE CONNECTION? A site connection allows a single connection to the web conference. That connection is open to any number of users in a collaborative setting. Because there are no travel expenses and only a single registration fee is required, each additional participant lowers the cost per participant significantly. By purchasing a site connection, you can invite as many people as you would like to view and participate in the session from a single location. Set up the session in a conference room and project the presentation and chat on a large screen. You also have rights to distribute copies of the presentation materials to everyone involved. Please note that audio is received via the computer sound system and must be broadcast to your group. If for any reason a relevant stakeholder cannot co-locate for the session, we encourage you to include that person by purchasing an additional connection at the reduced fee of $195 per session. This will ensure that every member of a team receives the same relevant, timely information in the most efficient way. If you have any technical or purchasing questions, please contact us at (303) 770.8800. REGISTRATION INFORMATION
