Aspen Power, LLC
• Located in Lufkin,TX• 50 MW direct-fired
biomass facility• Utilizing Stoker
Technology• Implementing SCR
Technology• Will Consume
525,000 tons of biomass/annuallyAerial View of Aspen Site
Environmental Sustainability
• A direct fired 50, megawatt biomass plant reduces carbon emissions 250,000 tons annually
• EPA’s target for CO2 emissions = 1,000 units/m3
• Utilizing today’s technology Aspen Power, LLC’s
emissions = 15.8 units/m3
• 63.3 X Cleaner than the EPA Standard
• Woody biomass is a Carbon-Neutral operation
• Manufacturing green-renewable energy creates jobs not exposed
to overseas cheap labor - electricity cannot be imported• All plant components are manufactured in the U.S. Majority in
Texas
BiomassResource Availability
• Logging Debris
• Urban/Municipal Wood Waste
• Mill Waste
• In-Woods Chipping
Logging Debris
An estimated 8 Billion lbs of Logging Debris in the East Texas Region
Logging Debris Cont’d
Utilizing logging debris for Bio-energy reduces the need for expensive site preparation
Provides additional income to the forest landowner
Clearing logging debris speeds reforestation growth
Urban Wood Waste
• 660 lbs/person/year in U.S.
• 22 Million Texans produce 14.5 Billion lbs/year
• Majority of urban biomass is not utilized
• Large volumes are sent to landfills at great expense
Utilizing Urban Biomass
Using urban biomass for Bio-energy production conserves valuable landfill space
Saves disposal expense and provides income to cities/counties
Utilized Technology/Equipment
• John Deere 1490D
Wood Energy Harvester
• Diamond Z- Grinders
• Transportation of Biomass

Fuel-Handling Site (Aspen)
Projected 10 YearEconomic Impact (Aspen)
• Direct permanent jobs created = 160
• Total indirect jobs created = 245
• Direct & Indirect salaries paid = $151.6 Million
• City’s sales Taxable sales gain = $67.8 Million
• Plant’s assets on local tax rolls = $95.5 Million
• Net benefits for local taxing districts = $12.4 Million
Future ProjectGreenville Energy, LLC
• 63 MW Generation Capacity• New renewable energy biomass-fired plant
utilizing some assets currently used in a fossil fuel facility
• Construction Cost: $80 Million• Primary Financing: Industrial Revenue Bonds• Consume 700,000 tons of biomass on an annual
basis• Will Utilize Stoker Furnace/Boiler Technology
