and Waste-to-Energy Burners
July 12, 2006: BREDL Report on proposed Fibrowatt facility -
Executive Director Janet Marsh Zeller's comments on the report:
Fibrowatt's Thetford plant, in 2004, put out 234,430 kilograms
(516,824 pounds) of carbon monoxide. I call these incinerators
rather than power plants, because 50 megawatts is a tiny amount
of power for what is lost. The amount of sulfur dioxide and
nitrogen oxide -- if this plant is similar to their Minnesota
plant -- would be roughly similar to a coal plant. One
disadvantage of burning poultry litter is the creation of air
poisons not in the original materials. They are created in the
smokestack itself. Fibrowatt's Thetford plant put out 30
milligrams of dioxins in 2004. We are going to see larger amounts
if they build what they plan for North Carolina. If you dissect
what they say -- hold on, here are details.

Details on Fibrowatt
March 21, 2006: Fibrowatt LLC is considering locations in
North Carolina for a 50 MW plant that burns poultry litter.
Burning poultry litter creates unnecessary pollution and is
inconsistent with NC GreenPower’s mission to promote
renewable energy while protecting the environment. Please sign on
to our letter urging NC GreenPower to remove the incineration of
poultry litter and other types of litter from the green energy
program. BREDL
