Green3Power to build a $175m renewable plant in Florida

Green3Power Operations, a wholly owned subsidiary of BioPower Operations, has been granted permission to build a $175 million (€158.5 million) biofuels plant in Florida's St. Lucie County, US.

The energy facility will convert waste into ultra-low sulfur synthetic green No. 2 diesel fuel using G3P's gasification technology and the Fischer-Tropsch process. It will be located at the existing St. Lucie County Solid Waste Management Facility, helping to extend the life of the landfill.

G3P is in talks with St. Lucie County to develop a renewable energy gasification facility at the County's Glades Road Landfill. G3P has finalised the site plan and the project will be presented to the County Commissioners on 21 July for their consideration.

G3P has been working with Vanderweil Engineering, a joint venture partner in the plant which will convert approximately 1,000 tonnes per day of municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, used tires and yard waste to synthetic diesel fuel. If additional waste is required, it will be sourced from the County landfill.

Green3Power Operations and Vanderweil will provide design, permitting, engineering, procurement and contractor (EPC) services during the next 18 months while the plant undergoes permitting and construction. G3P will also provide operations and maintenance for the facilities for 20 years with a 10 year extension, after it has been built.
