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
