  2. LandfillGas to Energy • EIF Renewable Energy Holdings • Types of Recovery Projects • Facilities in US • Re-Emergence of Pipeline Quality Gas or Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Projects

  3. EIF Renewable Energy Holdings • Own and/or operate one of the largest LFG portfolios in the US • 265 MWe of base load renewable energy • 38 Renewable Power Projects • 6 Renewable Natural Gas Projects • 13 projects in New York • 4 facilities qualified to produce RNG

  5. LFG Energy Recovery Projects • LFG generation/collection • The three primary methods for utilizing landfill gas • electric power generation • direct use medium-BTU industrial fuels • production of RNG

  6. Type of Projects in US Source: 2013 Update of U.S. Landfill Gas-to-Energy Projects published by the U.S. EPA

  7. Types of Projects in New York Source: 2013 Update of U.S. Landfill Gas-to-Energy Projects published by the U.S. EPA

  8. Electric Generation • Internal Combustion Engine • Gas Turbine • Steam Turbine • Micro Turbine

  9. Electric Generation

  10. Direct Use • Industrial FuelBurning Equipment • Steam Boilers • Aggregate Dryers –Asphalt Production • Brick Kiln • Leachate Evaporation

  11. Direct Use

  12. Renewable Natural Gas • Organic Solvents • Membranes • Adsorption

  13. Renewable Natural Gas Seneca KCLFG SWACO KCLFG SWACO OKC OKC

  14. US Natural Gas Pipelines Transportation of gas opens markets across the US

  15. RNG Math • Four Facilities – NY, OH, KS, OK • Combined Production Capacity • 11,000 MMBtu/Day • MMBtu to GGE of CNG = 12.98* • 142,780 GGE per day • Annually displaces 52 million gallons of gasoline • Annual reduction of 124 million tons of CO2 emissions* from gasoline * Based on USEPA conversion factors

  16. RNG Math • Seneca New York Facility • Production Capacity • 2,000 MMBtu/Day • 25,960 GGE per day • The average convenience store sells 4,000 gallons of gasoline per day * • 6 ½ average stations to sell output from Seneca based on gasoline sales • Access to national pipeline network mandatory to move production to markets * Based on NACS bulletin

  17. RNG – Technical Considerations

  18. RNG – Environmental/Regulatory Considerations

  19. RNG – Economic Considerations

  20. RNG – Legislative and Policy Considerations • Federal • Encourage all renewable uses • Long term certainty • Realistic and timely rule making • States • Adopt low carbon fuel standard • Encourage pipeline access • Qualify broad range of resources
