The project will support the state’s first renewable repowering of a major fossil fuel generator by replacing a 60-year-old unit at Ravenswood Generating Station in Long Island City
Data collected from the flight will help Gulfstream and its key suppliers gauge aircraft compatibility with renewable aviation fuels, particularly under cold temperatures during extended flights
The project will power more than 240,000 homes in Alberta, and Amazon has signed a PPA to procure 415 MW of output from the wind farm
The key challenges to using SAF, which can reduce lifecycle CO2 by up to 85% and aviation emissions over the next 30 years, are a limited supply and high cost
The project is expected to produce more than 370,000 MMBtu of RNG and avoid more than 16,464 tons of fossil-based CO2 emissions annually
The Big Hill landfill site had been abandoned by its former owner for nearly 40 years and, as a result, accrued approximately $2 million in tax liens
