Intrepid's Biogas Plant Achieves Significant Cost Savings
Intrepid Technology and Resources, Inc.
(ITR) (OTC BB: IESV) a renewable energy company announces that they are
achieving significant waste reductions at the Whitesides biogas plant near
Rupert, Idaho.
The plant is proving to be an efficient gas production plant as well as
demonstrating remarkable waste conversion capabilities.
Manure is processed into gases which are further processed into heating
fuel. Digested fiber's collected and processed into bedding and beneficial
soil amendment commodities, and the processed water is used for irrigation
as well as being recycled through the system to thin the influent manure to
proper consistency.
As our experience grows we are discovering additional potential revenue
streams that can augment gas sales. Examples include emission credits
(carbon credits); renewable energy certificates (RECs), tax credits, sale
of organic compost, and processing other organic wastes (cheese whey,
animal renderings, etc.) to produce supplemental gas. These extra revenue
sources could increase total revenues by as much as 50 to 100 percent.
Revenues are also enhanced through cost avoidance which comes about from
reduced waste handling operations and economical gas to power on-site
operations, not to mention the significant reductions in odor and nutrient
loadings in effluent water and solids.
ITR is also demonstrating significant cost avoidance to the dairy over
using current standard waste management practices. Experience in operating
the plant to date suggests cost avoidance values can range from $2.00 to
$4.00 per cow per month depending on the operation. This savings occurs
because of: 1) Greatly reduced nutrient loading which reduces acreage
required for land application of manure residuals; 2) Less physical and
mechanical handling of solids during composting operations; 3) Reduced
operations and maintenance factors for pivot irrigation operations due to
use of cleaner water; and 4) Energy cost savings via use of on-site
produced gas to provide power for operations such as feed mixing, heating
and cooling.
