Slide1

Silver Bay Eco-Industrial Business Park Mission StatementTo network businesses to work with each otherand the Silver Bay Community in order to create and diversify living wage employment, by improving resourceproductivity, eliminating pollution and expanding marketsthrough renewable sustainable energy development.Slide2

How it BeganOctober 2008 interdisciplinary project team of stakeholders discussed how to transform Silver Bay Business Park into and eco-park.In 2008 the City applied for an MPCA Environmental Assistance Grant and awarded $40,000 in June 2009. Project assessed feasibility of using wind, biomass and biodiesel to generate renewable heat and power, and to apply industrial ecology methods to achieve "zero waste - zero emissions“. Slide3

Competitive AdvantageBusinesses will be attracted to locate within the park,to benefit from predictable renewable sustainableenergy costs. The need for fossil fuel consumption willbe eliminated and ultimately result in reductions ingreenhouse gas emissions, carbon footprint, andwaste. Slide7

Eco-Park as a Revenue SourceRenewable and Sustainable Energy FacilitiesSilver Bay EDA would own 51 percentBusiness, land owners and stakeholders 49 percent “Silver Bay Eco-Park Renewable Energy, LLC”Power purchase agreement with local utility

Revenue source to maintain the Eco-Park or other civic improvementsSlide8

Engineered green infrastructure for clean production.Silver Bay Eco-Park Renewable Energy SystemA new, publicly owned utility service for the generation, production and distribution of renewable, sustainable combined heat and power system for the citizens and businesses of Silver Bay.Slide9

Integrated Renewable and Sustainable Energy Generation Three Forms of Energy Generation Biomass Binary Combined Heat and Power Wind and SolarBiodiesel though Algal GrowthSlide10

Combined Heat and Power and Wood Pellet Production SynergyLocal industries and feedstocks from logging operationsSustainable Job CreationLocal Economic and Environmental BenefitsCo-located Pellet Production would use 1.6MW of the 2.5MWSlide11

Conventional Condensing PowerCondensing Power is generating electricity without using thewaste heat. Fuel conversion efficiency for fossil fuel condensing power (utilities) is about 37%. FCE for fossil fuels condensing power is 10,000 Btu’s/kW or moreBiomass condensing power takes about 16,000 Btu’s/kW and is only about 23% efficient.

Coal based condensing power results in over 1 ton of CO2 per MWh.Slide12

Environmental and Economic Benefits Renewable-based CHP system will result displace approximately 150,000 tons per year CO2 emissionsSignificant increase in fuel efficiency from 37percent - in utility sized coal fired condensing power plants – to 75 percent Complete system emissions at maximum potential to emit will be less than 235 tpy Utilization of 100,000 tpy of wood pellets, displacing a 50/50 mix of propane and fuel oil, yields a total of 127,500 tpy of CO2 displacedApproximately forty (40) construction jobs, fifteen (15) permanent pellet plant operating and 6 logging jobs could be created  Slide13

Large WindOff-Site Finland Air BaseHighest elevation in MNVery good use of the existing facility and the surrounding landInfrastructure is already in placeSlide14

Small WindOn-Site Silver Bay Eco-ParkMakes beneficial use of coastal wind source which is readily available. Can be harvested using low elevation turbines (less than 35 feet high)Environmentally and aesthetically friendlySlide15
