The Issue
Project Innovation
This purpose of this project is to design, install, and operate a concentrated solar power plant at the Recipient's dairy processing facility. The system will convert solar energy into supplemental heat to offset onsite natural gas consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Natural gas consumption will be measured before and after the system is installed in order to validate energy savings and GHG emission reductions.
Project Benefits
Environmental Sustainability
The project will reduce GHG emissions by approximately 1031 MT CO2e/year.
