The city of Akron, Ohio, will use methane gas from its closed landfill to produce electricity for an adjacent sewage treatment plant. Columbus, Ohio-based Hull & Associates will finance and install electricity generation equipment and sell power to the city at discounted rates.
The project will produce enough electricity to power up to 700 homes annually, or nearly one-third of the sewage treatment plant's needs.
With Akron's recently announced expanded plan to process municipal solid wastes from the treatment plant, nearly 90% of its required electric power will be generated on-site.(Source: WFMJ News, City of Akron, October, 27, 2011)

TransGlobal Assets, Inc. has provided its Indian joint venture partner Helios Inc. with $500,000 funding for construction of a municipal solid waste (MSW) pilot project employing Helios' patented MSW-to-Energy System. The pilot project will be built in the Romanian municipality of Acatari.
MSW-TO-Energy Systems are manufactured by Helios Assembly of India and provide a non-polluting, environmentally friendly conversion of MSW into an inert ash residue for use in concrete. The MSW waste-to-energy project will utilize a Helios 250 kW portable unit, the smallest of the series, to run a test of 1 to 4 weeks.
Romanian municipalities, including Acatari, have committed to acquire and operate 10 units of either 1-MW or 5-MW capacity. Officials from Hungary, Bulgaria, England and several Middle Eastern countries have also expressed strong interest in the Helios patented system and are expected to be monitoring the 250 kW project.
The JV agreement stipulates that TransGlobal Assets will receive 50% of revenues from the multiple revenue streams generated by the system including revenues from unit sales and monthly revenues from the sale of electricity, carbon credits, and ash residue. Potential revenues for Helios and TransGlobal Assets will be determined by the size of the systems that the municipalities ultimately select. (Source: TransGlobal Assets, Inc, March 24, 2011)

New Jersey-based Nupower Inc., a subsidiary of MPM Technologies, has received a commitment from Remetco for the purchase of Skygas equipment for the development of Canadian waste-to-energy projects. According to the company, Skygas is a unique electrokinetic process that converts solid and semisolid carbonaceous wastes into a clean-burning synthesis gas that can be used to generate electric power and to produce synthetic diesel.
The process will be used in conjunction with Remetco's closed loop recovery system for both precious metals and its secondary by-products from electronic scrap (e-scrap), spent tires, plastics, municipal solid wastes, automotive catalytic converters along with other industrial and pharmaceutical spent catalysts, with the first system to be located in Welland, Ontario. A formal purchase agreement between the two companies, worth approximately $80 million will be finalized before October 1, 2010. (Source: Yahoo Finance, June 29, 2010)
