Videos of the landfill gas energy meeting 2013-04-15



Since LAKE was the only coverage of the

Pecan Row Landfill Gas Energy meeting 15 April 2013 at Colquitt EMC in Valdosta,
these videos let you see the interesting cast of speakers and other attendees.





Our host,

Danny Nichols, Colquitt EMC General Manager, expressed concerns about
feel-good vs. economically viable energy projects and said he
thought the landfill gas project was both, emphasizing “like a
switch it comes on”, in other words, baseload.
(Colquitt EMC is

not big on smart grid.)

Atlanta trash and TVA coal ash to be shipped to Lowndes County?



Did you know we already have coal ash in our Lowndes County landfill?

And where will the trash come from for that landfill gas project,
subject of

the meeting 8:30 AM tomorrow morning at the Colquitt EMC office in Valdosta?
Atlanta, or even farther north (or south)?
And what will be in it: coal ash like Taylor County’s landfill,
with arsenic and lead?

As we’ve seen,

GreenPower EMC’s previous two landfill gas projects seem to be in Taylor
County, Georgia.
What none of GreenPower, ESG, ADS, or Colquitt EMC seem to have mentioned
is that much of the trash in the landfill in Mauk, Taylor County,
between Machon and Columbus,
appears to come from farther north.

Green Power EMC landfill gas projects



As

we saw,
ESG’s Pecan Row Landfill Gas Facility flash flyer
quotes Jeff Pratt, President of Green Power EMC, who said this is Green Power
EMC’s third landfill energy project.
Curiously, Green Power EMC’s Landfill Gas Project page doesn’t
list the other two, and its
FAQ is apparently out of date, saying “Currently, our one landfill gas-to-electricity projects generate a combined four megawatts of power.”
However, the other two appear to be:

Landfill gas energy meeting Monday morning


Pecan Row Landfill Gas Facility

Received Friday as a PDF. -jsq

Valdosta, Ga. (April 11, 2013) — Representatives from

Advanced Disposal,

Green Power EMC and

Energy Systems Group (ESG) will hold an informational
session about the Pecan Row Landfill Gas Facility on April 15 at 8:30 a.m. EST
at the

Colquitt EMC Valdosta District Office, located at 273 Norman Drive.

The cover page seems to be condensed from
ESG’s Pecan Row Landfill Gas Facility flash flyer.
That ESG flyer also quotes Gerald Allen, Landfill Vice President , Advanced Disposal, and Jeff Pratt, President of Green Power EMC, who said this is Green Power
EMC’s third landfill energy project.

The rest past the paragraph above quoted seems to be verbatim from Continue reading →
