The proposed pilot project would be implemented at two locations the would develop onsite renewable energy production for the existing facilities. Project elements at the ALWSZ Treatment Facility would include installation of 1) a geothermal heat pump that would deploy geothermal heat technology using tertiary-treated wastewater as a "heat sink" powered by existing solar photovoltaic cells (PV), 2) a pilot scale digester and congeneration system that would convert dairy or food waste biogas to electrical power and thermal energy for the treatment plant, 3) charging stations for electric vehicles powered by the existing solar PV. The Project element at the 404 Aviation Blvd. facility would include installation of a wind turbine that would provide 10 kW to offset existing electrical energy consumption.
