Renewable energy systems firm ESG Clean Energy has signed a Power Purchasing Agreement with utility Holyoke Gas & Electric (HG&E) to set up its second carbon capture system at Holyoke.
The system will capture close to 100 percent of the CO2 produced from the burning of natural gas, facilitate the generation of low-cost electricity and support area electric grid reliability during peak hours. More than 15,000 tons of CO2 will be captured annually at the site.
ESG Clean Energy’s system can use waste heat from the 4.2-MW natural gas-fired internal combustion engine to drive the carbon capture technology. The system separates the water vapor from the CO2 and uses this water vapor to produce diesel exhaust fluid.
This agreement is the second signed by ESG Clean Energy with HG&E. The first agreement was for the installation of a 3.9 MW generation and carbon capture facility in Holyoke.
Colliers Funding is providing financing for the latest project.
