Clean Energy Pathways, Mid-Atlantic Soybean Association partner for co-firing biofuels with coal

In Alabama, Clean Energy Pathways has received early support for its concept to co-fire coal utility boilers with liquid biofuel, forming an alliance with the Mid-Atlantic Soybean Association to promote the solution for utilities complying with EPA’s RPS, RFS2, MATS and CSAPR.

According to Clean Energy’s Marketing Director Jon Chynoweth, biodiesel can be used for flame stabilization, start-up or as a component to be co-fired with coal.  Clean Energy markets custom-blended biofuels for use as a Btu-substitute in coal-fired utility furnaces and diesel-powered equipment. These fuels also qualify for the Renewable Electric Producer Tax Credit of 2.2 cents per kilowatt.
