The biogas project will convert waste from area food processing operations into a reliable supply of renewable energy for the tribal community as well as the local grid.
GE delivered two Waukesha APG1000 Enginator biogas engines to FCPC. The Waukesha plant employs 680 people, including 385 production workers.
An anaerobic digester will process the food processor waste-to-produce biogas that will fuel GE’s Waukesha engines in the CHP plant. The engines are designed specifically to run on biogases that are rich in methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Burning the methane in a reciprocating engine reduces the amount of gas that can escape into the atmosphere.
The two generator sets will produce a total of 2MW of renewable electricity, enough to power about 1,500 Milwaukee-area homes. The biogas plant’s electricity will be sold to WE Energies and can assist the utility in meeting the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard, which requires a certain portion of the utility’s power be generated by renewable energy sources...
