Renewable Energy Park Vision
“Five years from now, if all we’ve
done is build an ethanol plant, it’s
something we’ll be proud of, but
at the same time I’ll be
disappointed, because there are so
many other opportunities that we
need to pursue.”
Eric Will, II

Carbon Footprint of Biomass Energy
¾ 30 MW biomass
cogeneration facility
generates 260 million kWh
annually
¾ If purchased from the grid,
this would emit ~100,000
metric tons of CO2 annually
(equivalent to emissions from
~4,000 U.S. households)
¾ Biomass emissions are
considered carbon neutral
since biomass sequesters
CO2 as it grows and later
emits it when combusted

Moving Forward...
“Eco-industrial development
is not easy to put into
practice.”

It’s A Team Effort...
“You can definitely, on paper, think about
all these potential systems you can put
together. But in the final analysis, are
people willing to work together and
cooperate and create the synergies so
that it really can happen?”

biological and environmental engineering at
