Project will use biogas produced by the largest
inland sewage discharger west of the Mississippi River—the
EchoWater Resource Recovery Facility—to generate heat and
power.
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator
specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today
announced it entered a nearly $140M contract to develop and
construct an advanced technology biogas cogeneration facility for
the Sacramento Area Sewer District located at the EchoWater
Resource Recovery Facility (EchoWater Facility) near Elk Grove,
California.
This on-site renewable energy facility will beneficially utilize
biogas (methane), a byproduct of the EchoWater Facility’s solids
treatment process, to produce renewable electricity and heat for
the EchoWater Facility through an integrated 13.4 MW cogeneration
plant that will utilize fuel cell and engine technology. By
incorporating the fuel cell system, the project will have
exceptional efficiency and reduced pollutant emissions, making it a
clean, reliable baseload dispatchable resource. Additionally, the
system will allow for the expandability to produce hydrogen in the
future.
“SacSewer is committed to being a leader in environmental
stewardship. Through our sustainable efforts in resource recovery,
we maximize the reuse of treatment process by-products such as
biogas,” shared Christoph Dobson, SacSewer’s General Manager. “This
project is yet another example of how we’re working every day to
fulfill our mission of protecting public health and the environment
by collecting, treating, and recovering resources from sewage.”
“We are thrilled to partner with SacSewer, supporting their
efforts to optimize the use of the biogas that is generated as a
byproduct of the sewage treatment process,” said Michael Bakas,
Executive Vice President of Ameresco. “Capturing and repurposing
biogenic methane, that is already in our environment and produced
by society, to displace fossil fuel is a powerful example of the
circular economy in action, where waste is not discarded, but
turned into a valuable asset. This voluntary act by SacSewer,
backed by a material investment into this advanced renewable energy
center, speaks volumes to their commitment to our environment and
their surrounding community.”
Construction of the new facility is expected to be completed by
July 2026.
