Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2015 14:25:16 -0700 Subject: arbcombo -- ARB Research Seminar: Assessment of the Emissions and Energy Impacts of Biomass and Biogas Use in California From: rding@arb.ca.gov “Assessment of the Emissions and Energy Impacts of Biomass and Biogas Use in California”. Donald Dabdub, Ph.D. University of California, Irvine Tuesday, March 17, 2015 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Biomass contributes more than 5,700 Gigawatt-hour to California’s in-state renewable power, approximately 19% of in-state renewable power, and 2% of full California power mix. Current operating biopower capacity is about 900 Megawatt (MW), including approximately 550 MW of woody biomass solid fuel combustion, 280 MW of landfill gas-to-energy and 75 MW from wastewater treatment biogas. It is estimated that there is sufficient in-state ‘technically’ recoverable biomass to support another 2,800 MW of capacity or 21 Terawatt-hour of electricity. While most biomass energy is derived from woody material (including urban wood waste, and forest product and agricultural residues), there is a growing interest in using municipal solid waste, food processing waste, animal manure, and wastewater (co-digestion at wastewater treatment facilities) to generate electricity and renewable fuels. Increasing production of bioenergy contributes to energy sustainability while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and also could help reduce criteria pollutant emissions.
