Solutions4CO2 Inc. Signs Project Development Agreement With Vir-Clar Farm Power, LLC.
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/07/13 -- Solutions4CO2 Inc. ("S4CO2" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has executed a Project Development Agreement ("PDA") with Vir-Clar Farm Power, LLC ("Vir-Clar") to build an Integrated Biogas Refinery™ ("IBR").
Vir-Clar operates an anaerobic digester system at the Vir-Clar dairy farm in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The anaerobic digester uses a mixture of waste manure from 1,450 cattle and off-farm organic feedstock to produce approximately 300 cubic feet per minute of biogas, which is used to generate 750 kWh of electricity. S4CO2 and Vir-Clar have entered into the PDA to build an IBR that is integrated with the existing anaerobic digester system. The IBR upgrades the biogas by separating and removing carbon dioxide, which is utilized in an algae-based production system for high value co-products. Upgrading the biogas improves power production efficiency and extends equipment life while the separated carbon dioxide stream enables additional revenue sources from the sale of algal co-products.
Under the terms of the PDA, both S4CO2 and Vir-Clar will complete the site assessment, algae strain selection and economic feasibility study prior to entering into a final contract. In addition, the PDA sets out the principal terms that the final contract is currently expected to incorporate. In summary, those terms include the following:
S4CO2 will:
Vir-Clar will:
Subject to the satisfactory completion of site selection, algae strain selection and economic feasibility assessment, S4CO2 and Vir-Clar intend to proceed to a final agreement by April 30, 2013.
North American dairy industry opportunity
According to the Innovation Center for US Dairy there are over 65,000 dairy farms in the United States with herds ranging in size from 50 to 42,000 head. There are over 2,000 farms the size of Vir-Clar or larger (greater than 1,500 head) with currently less than 250 anaerobic digester installations. These 2,000 larger dairy farms offer a sustainable supply of waste manure feedstock and represent the principal target market for the IBR. By reducing AD project payback periods to an estimated three years from the typical five to seven years, the IBR can enable the North American AD biogas industry to expand beyond the current 250 installations.
