Net Zero Energy Plan for MCLB Albany, GA Frederick R. Broome, Jr., P.E. Director, Installation & Environment Division On behalf of the MCLBA Energy Team of Hubert “Ski” Smigelski, Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Benjamin, CEC, P.E., Mike Henderson, P.E., Nancy Hilliard, P.E., Eddie Hunt, CEM, & our CHM2Hill partners 1 Overview Defining Net Zero Energy Achieving Net Zero – – Current Renewable Energy Projects Future Renewable Energy Projects Future Energy Profile “Speedbumps” to Success 2 Net Zero Energy Definition Assumed Definition – MCLB Albany will be a net zero energy installation by the year 2020 when it produces as much energy onsite from renewable energy generation or through the on-site use of renewable fuels, as it consumes in its buildings and facilities. Net Zero Energy Does not include: – – – Water Vehicles Waste Energy Energy Consumption Consumption Renewable Renewable Energy Energy Generation Generation 3 The “Gap” 30% Energy Intensity Reduction •Multiple mandates to conserve & use renewables, but SECNAV goal of 50% of installations at Net Zero by 2020 closes the “gap” between them Renewable Energy Generation 4 Achieving Installation Net Zero A balanced combination of reducing energy intensity while also increasing renewable energy generation – For installation-wide net zero, largest impact comes from large scale industrial scale renewable energy generation platforms – Diversity is important A few large scale projects vs. lots of little projects Collaboration with local industry and energy providers – The answer isn’t always inside the fence 5 Current Renewable Energy Portfolio Landfill Gas Roof Solar PV Solar Hot Water Daylight Harvesting 6 Current Renewable Energy Portfolio Annual Energy Generation (MBtu) Project Daylight Harvesting 150 Solar Hot Water 222 Solar PV Generation (75 kW) 307 Landfill Gas Electrical Savings, Phase 1 46,659 Landfill Gas Thermal Savings, Phase 1 58,596 Grand Total 105,934 7 Future Renewable Energy Systems Landfill Gas, Phase 2 – Ground Source Heat Pump – Multiple well fields for key areas of high energy consumption Biomass – – 2nd, 1.9 MW generator with waste heat recovery system Local industry provider has biomass plant which also generates steam Albany to provide steam to electricity generator Other Renewable Energy Sources (Low Feasibility for Albany) – – – – Wind Solar Geothermal to Electricity Fast Pyrolysis 8 Biomass – State Level • The State of Georgia produces over 22 million tons biomass per year. • Georgia is prioritizing energy resource development statewide. Only second to improved energy efficiency is “utilization of GA significant biomass resources.” (Georgia State Energy Strategy) Biomass – State Level Georgia’s most “biomass rich” land lies within a ~50 mile radius of Dougherty County.
