The document discusses a public-private partnership (PPP) for a biogas cogeneration plant at a wastewater treatment facility. Key points include:
1) The PPP uses a lease agreement structure to take advantage of tax incentives, with the private partner responsible for construction and maintenance over 16 years.
2) The biogas cogeneration system will utilize methane from anaerobic digestion to simultaneously produce electricity and heat on-site.
3) The project aims to help the facility become energy neutral by accessing energy resources within waste streams through various technologies.

The Ports-to-Plains Corridor has a diversified energy portfolio, and biofuels are a growing industry throughout the region. Learn about innovative developments in the industry in the corridor.
Tenaska Trailblazer Energy Centre – Jeff James - Global CCS Institute – Nov 2...Global CCS Institute
As a part of the Institute's strategic focus on assisting CCS projects through knowledge sharing, three North American roadshow events will help the industry share project experiences and knowledge about CCS. Taking place in the US and Canada, the three events include:
• Austin, Texas on November 8, 2011;
• Calgary, Canada on 10 November, 2011; and
• Washington, D.C. on 19 January, 2012.
The first roadshow focused on sharing project experiences and knowledge from the projects in North America but also brought in projects from Europe (Don valley) and Australia (Callide) so that regionally diverse experiences could be shared amongst a global audience.
Attendance at the event was around 30 to 35 which allowed open and frank discussions around technical, management, and regulatory issues and how these challenges can impact on a project’s advancement and decision making processes.

Presentation to the Port of San Francisco on a concept to develop the Pier 90-94 Backlands into an eco-industrial park. Highlights include relocating an asphalt plant from a mixed industrial/residential setting and linking it with a concrete crushing plant, using the output of the concrete plant as input for the asphalt plant. Also looks into the feasability us building a biodiesel plant on-site that would use the output of the currently existing rendering plant.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

2. Primer
• Anaerobic digestion produces methane
• Wastewater Treatment Plants have a lot of
solids associated with treatment of sewage.
• The investment in infrastructure to collect wet
organic waste and to digest it under anaerobic
condition has already been made in many
areas.
3. Public Private Partnership
• Most common is a power purchase agreement
(PPA) used heavily in Solar Industry; risk on
third party.
• We are using a public private lease model,
only valid under the ARRA legislation where a
true lease between a tax exempt agency and a
taxable entity allowed for the deal to enjoy
the benefit of tax incentive.
4. Biogas Co-Gen
• Cogeneration is the simultaneous production
of heat and electricity
• Biogas Cogeneration is the use of a renewable
fuel to produce that heat and electricity.
• Biogas has zero carbon footprint.
5. Project History
• PWD utilized 50% of the digester gas – flare the rest.
• Considered purifying the flared gas to pipe line grade
quality (2006), Designed to (30% of full design)
– Not possible to ‘right size’, expensive and n.g. cheap.
– No premium on anthropogenic gas (as there is for
electricity)
• Evaluated effect impending removal of rate caps on
electricity (2008); Moved Forward with Elec. Gen.
• Internal funding issues arose
– Could not compete with mission critical capital plans
• Pursued PPP (late 2009)

9. Time Line of PPP Deal
• Issued an RFP 9/17/2010
closed 12/2/2010
• Intent to Contract 4/7/2011
• Issuance of Ordinances to
City Council on 6/16/2011
– Bill 110517 - Site lease
– Bill 110518 – Equipment
lease
• Art Commission 10/5/2011
• Bills passed by City Council
on 11/17/2011 (13:2)
• Air permit issued and
Building Permit Issued
11/28/2011
• Deal Signed 12/23/2011
– $2.48 M wired to city to
purchase Design drawings at
2:50 pm
10. Cash flow
• Project will be paid out of operating funds
– the electrical budget line
• Lease payments fixed
• Maintenance cost variable as reflected by
magnitude of work required, the engines are
rebuilt every 60,000 hours (~ 8 years)

12. Risk Distribution
• The developer takes on the risk of system
integration, operability and project schedule
– less risk to City than standard public works.
• Engineer of record retains liability of design.
• City accepts risk of grant qualification and
must not be obstructive in construction
process (PPA for same plant was more
expensive)
13. Maintenance Contracts
• Ameresco maintains the Biogas Cogeneration
facility for 16 years (term of lease).
– On site 40 hours a week
– Access to service off hours
– Responsible for all maintenance
• PWD operates the facility
– Selecting number of units and fuel source
– Monitors for alarms
15. Carbon is Source of Bio-fuel
• PWD currently accepts ADF directly into anaerobic
digester from Philadelphia International Airport.
• City of Philadelphia is participating in an InSinkErator
pilot project that will increase the delivery of easily
digested domestic biomass via the sewers to the
WPCPs. Sewers are designed to collect wet organic
waste. (food waste is 70% water before FWD)
• City of Philadelphia is considering food-waste co-
digestion options for commercial waste.
16. Vision for Future at PWD
• Net Energy Neutrality at Wastewater Facilities;
accessing Energy within waste
• Kinetic
• Thermal
• Latent Chemical – AD and Biogas cogen
• Resource Recovery Facilities
– Energy
– Nutrients
• Industrial Eco-Complexes
• There is a need for renewable fuel to be
appropriately valued.
17. Take Home
• PWD’s PPP deal is a complex, one-of-a-kind, deal that
is best used to explain the struggle.
• Providing access to capital that does not “compete”
with mission critical infrastructure is useful in the
development of sustainable infrastructure.
• Allowing municipal utilities to compete along with
taxed entities for grant money. Current ITC/NPC
grant structure is for taxable firms only.
• The groundwork of existing infrastructure is in place
to expand renewable fuel-derived distributed energy
generation throughout country.
