Federal buildings choose waste-to-energy heat
Published Thursday, 24th February 2011
The US General Services Administration (GSA) has signed a $9 million deal with Detroit Thermal LLC to provide heating to two federal buildings in Detroit with reliable steam from renewable energy municipal waste sources.
The federal contract brings Detroit Thermal’s score card to more than $120 million in business signed in the last two years.
The company was purchased last fall by the newly formed Detroit Renewable Energy LLC in a $50 million deal that included Detroit Renewable Power LLC and major upgrades to DRP’s energy-from-waste plant that turns municipal waste into steam and electrical energy.
“The two landmark federal buildings total about two million square feet and represent two very differing architectural styles and times, but share in a common federal commitment to go green with reduced use of fossil fuels, reduced carbon footprint, reduced waste trucked to landfills, the added reliability of a district energy system and the comfort of knowing that our team is always on call 24-7,” said Vic Koppang, president of Detroit Thermal.
