Annual energy savings <br /> equate to powering 2,000 homes. Estimated emissions <br /> reductions of 0.0375 million metric tons of carbon <br /> equivalents. <br />LMOP Partners Caterpillar, Lancaster County Solid Waste Management <br />Involved. Authority (Authority), Commonwealth of Pennsylvania <br /> Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP), PPL <br /> Corporation, SCS Engineers and SCS Field Services <br />What do you get when you partner a Pennsylvania <br />manufacturer, a methane gas generator, and an <br />energy company? The "perfect partnership," <br />according to PPL Energy Services. The largest <br />renewable energy partnership in Lancaster County <br />extends the development of renewable energy by <br />three parties who balance the needs of the public and <br />the environment in a beneficial way. <br />Each partner stepped up to make the project happen. The Authority voluntarily installed <br />20,000 feet of piping, tying together the collection systems of co-located landfills. Two <br />Caterpillar 3520 engines, installed and operated by PPL and fueled by landfill gas (LFG), <br />generate 3,200 kilowatts of electricity. Boilers capture heat from the engines, generating <br />steam for Turkey Hill Dairy-the well known maker of ice cream, milk, and tea. products. <br />The project's highlights include the following.: <br />. Steam to Turkey Hill Dairy offsets 225,000 gallons (80 percent) of diesel fuel. <br />. Completed in 10 months to enable Section 45 tax credits. <br />http://www.epa. gov/landfill/proj /prof/profile/lancastercountylfgenergyp.htm <br />6/8/2009 <br />
