Hidden Sources of Energy Assets
Advances in technology are turning traditional sources of waste into valuable energy-producing commodities. Harnessing the potential of these new fuels can provide new sources of revenue for traditional energy suppliers as well as municipal and industrial enterprises outside of the energy services industry.
Municipalities: Real estate and geographical assets can be harnessed to provide solar, wind and hydroelectric energy.
Industrial: Biomass technologies convert manufacturing waste from lumber and paper production, as well as forest management, into a valuable source of fuel. Landfills are a ready source of methane gas that has a variety of energy applications.
Power Facilities: Cogeneration turns thermal energy from power generation into a needed supply of heat, hot water and steam. Capacity increases generate excess power that can be sold back into the grid to offset energy purchases or develop a stream of revenue.
