Demonstration and Verification of a Turbine Power Generation System Utilizing Renewable Fuel: Landfill Gas

Abstract

This technology demonstration was funded under the US DOD ESTCP program and executed at the Ft. Benning Army Base. The objective of this demonstration is to provide a credible, independent, third party evaluation of the performance, economics and environmental impacts of the Ener-Core Powerstation (FP250) technology in a landfill gas (LFG) energy recovery application at a DoD site. The evaluation was designed to provide sufficient data to allow end-users, purchasers, and others to determine the feasibility of the technology at DoD sites and other applications. Success factors that were validated during this demonstration include energy production, emissions and emission reductions compared to alternative systems, economics, and operability, including reliability and availability.
