Annual energy savings equate to <br />heating 5,200 homes. Estimated emissions reductions of <br />0.0054 million metric tons of carbon equivalents. <br />LMOP Partners <br />Involved ~ Toro Energy, Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. <br />~ <br />Two thousand seven hundred eighteen (2,718) employees, 115 robots, and 2.3 million <br />cubic feet of landfill gas (LFG). That's what it takes to crank out nearly 600 brand new <br />Dodge Ram Quad Cab pickups every day. Since 2002, Chrysler has burned LFG instead of <br />fossil fuels to meet about half of the plant's boiler energy needs. <br />Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. operates the Oak Ridge Landfill in Ballwin, MO and supplies <br />LFG as a direct fuel to the Chrysler assembly plant boilers in Fenton, a suburb of St. Louis. <br />Toro Energy, of Dallas, TX, helped to facilitate the contractual arrangements for this LFG <br />energy project. It is estimated that the landfill will supply LFG to the plant for 25 years. <br />The project's highlights include: <br />. Two state-of-the-art boilers provide up to 70 percent of the plant's boiler steam load. <br />• A 4.5-mile pipeline connects the landfill and assembly plant. <br />DaimlerChrysler took a progressive environmental attitude in moving forward <br />with this project, and is now realizing significant cost savings as well as <br />environmental benefits. -Denis Hagedorn, Chrysler's chief power house <br />plant engineer <br />6/8/2009 <br />In addition, because of the environmental attributes of this project, Chrysler (then <br />DaimlerChrysler) received the 2002 Missouri Governor's Award for Energy Efficiency and <br />http://www.epa. gov/landfill/projlprof/profile/chry slerlandfillgasenergy.htm <br />
