EPRI Selects GBB for an Evaluation of Municipal Solid Waste-to-Energy Power Plants

GBB has initiated a detailed engineering and economic evaluation for the use of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) as fuel in the generation of power utilizing various conversion technologies and parameters for the Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. (EPRI) after being selected through a formal procurement process. The intent of the evaluation is to provide a current status on the technologies associated with MSW, including performance data, cost (capital, operation & maintenance (O&M), and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE)), and prospects for future improvement of the technology types. The study will be part of EPRI's overall research and development relating to the generation, delivery, and use of electricity for the benefit of the public.

"GBB's reputation and expertise with regard to waste-to-energy (WTE) and conversion technologies (CT) is very impressive. This translated into a high level of understanding of our needs and very sensible approach to the project," noted Clarence L. Lyons, EPRI Project Manager. "The Project Team is composed of experienced individuals with very diverse, complementary backgrounds and areas of specialization which is ideal for this type of study."
