Greentech Lead America: Green Energy Renewable Solutions,
a developer and operator of municipal solid waste processing and recycling
facilities, has signed a Letter of Intent to form a joint venture with Landfill
Solutions of Puerto Rico.
The joint venture aims to remediate and manage the
Yabucoa municipal landfill that has been closed since 2011. The remediation
plan is designed to bring the landfill up to current operating standards and
reopen the landfill for operations while developing recycling and waste
conversion facilities.
Under the remediation program, The Venture Company will
bring the landfill site in compliance with regulatory standards of the
Autoridad De Desperdicios Solidos (“ADS”), the environmental control
authority in Puerto Rico.
The initial phase of the project includes slope
stabilization, construction of new road access and internal roadways, and
leachate, run-off and flood control. The Venture Company estimates that the
landfill will reopen within 120 to 180 days.
The Venture Company will develop a recycling facility
and waste-to-energy conversion
plant at the site to divert all incoming Municipal Solid Waste for separation
and processing to capture valuable recycle materials and convert the remainder
to energy and fuels. When fully operational, the facility is expected to reduce
the volume impact to landfill by 90 percent or more.
The Venture Company secured long-term municipal solid
waste (“MSW”) contracts to supply 500 tons of MSW per day to the
Yabucoa landfill from 4 Puerto Rico municipalities. The project will have a
projected capacity to process at least 1,000 tons of MSW per day. The estimated
output of the recycle and recovery operations include an estimated 200 tons per
day of recycle materials and 350 barrels of sweet crude oil equivalent and up
to 15 Megawatts of electrical power output.
Green Energy Renewable Solutions awards long term supply
contract to Disposal Specialties
Recently, Green Energy Renewable Solutions signed a long
term contract with Disposal Specialties of Birmingham, Michigan. As per the
agreement, Disposal Specialties will supply up to 1,000 tons of construction
and demolition waste per day for recycling operations at Green Energy’s
Highland Park, Michigan facility.
