Annual energy savings equate to <br /> powering 2,000 homes and heating nearly 2,300 homes. <br /> Estimated emissions reductions of 0.0067 million metric tons <br /> of carbon equivalents. <br />LMOP Partners Republic Services, Inc., Solar Turbines. Incorporated, We <br />Involved Energies <br />Doing what's right is how SC Johnson operates. <br />For nearly 20 years, SC Johnson's Waxdale <br />plant used landfill gas (LFG) in boilers. In 2003, <br />SC Johnson switched their use of LFG to a 3.2 <br />MW Centaur 40 gas turbine with a heat <br />recovery system from Solar Turbines <br />Incorporated. On Earth Day 2004, SC Johnson, <br />a global leader in reducing greenhouse gas <br />emissions, continued its commitment to the <br />community by announcing plans for its second <br />gas turbine to be fired on natural gas, but with <br />the capability of using 10 percent LFG. <br />Today, the two turbines provide electricity and most of the steam for the 2.2 million square <br />foot plant. By using waste LFG and recapturing heat that would otherwise be lost in the <br />generation of power, SC Johnson expects to consume significantly less electricity and <br />natural gas. <br />The project's highlights include the following: <br />6/8/2009 <br />• First consumer products manufacturing facility in the Midwest to produce a <br />substantial amount of its own energy through clean-burning technologies <br />• 3.2 MW and 19,000 pounds of steam per hour per turbine, with an overall efficiency <br />of 70 percent <br />• 50 percent reduction in fossil fuel usage <br />• 17 percent reduction in greenhouse gases in 1 year <br />http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/cogenerationatscj ohnsonso.htm <br />
