Hamilton County Renewable Energy Center

The Hamilton County Renewable Energy Center will consist of:

• a wood fuel handling system,
• a bubbling fluidized bed boiler,
• a condensing steam turbine generator with an evaporative cooling tower and
• auxiliary support equipment.

American Renewables has secured site control access on approximately 260 acres near Rt. 41 between the towns of Jasper and White Springs. The project will employ the latest in boiler and emissions control technology to achieve best available emissions.

The project will be fueled by biomass, including:

• forest residue from the surrounding, heavily wooded areas of northern Florida and southern Georgia,
• wood processing residues and
• clean municipal wood waste.

The project will require approximately one million tons of fuel annually, sourced within a 75-mile radius of the project site. A comprehensive fuel study by an independent forestry consultant has confirmed that fuel resources within this radius are more than adequate to fuel the project.
