Final Grant Application
CEI September 15, 2035 Mr. Shawn Calfa Grants Administrator Alaska Energy Authority 813 West Northern Lights Blvd. Anchorage, AK 99503 Dear Mr. Calfa: Central Environmental Incorporated (CEi) is pleased to submit Th¢ attached application for Round IX of the Renewable Energy Grant Fund (REF)_ Our proposed project will d¢monstrete the potential of recycled cellulose biomass, and potentially Tires, which woultl otherwise be bound for landfills as Fu¢I to be converted into renewabl¢ power. Alaskans will benefit by lowering the high cost of power, by eliminating waste transportation costs and by avoiding waste at Alaskan landfills. CEI Is uniquely positioned as a recycler antl independent power producer_ As Alaska's construction and demolition (CFaO) recycler, today we are able to recycle 79% of material at our Central Recycling Services facility. Utilizing the la ndflll bound recycled cellulose, we will be able to Increase recycling efficiency to 90%, Increase our effective s¢rvice range from a 25 mile to 1OD mile radius and supply Alaska Railroad Corporation, a state owned enterprise, with 400 kilowatts of renewable electricity. A feaslblltty study could also confirm chat this project will be repeatable or open CgtO recycling to several high -cost communtties currently participating In the power cost ¢qualization (PCE) program. For examples, Bethel, Cordova, Dillingham, Kotzebue, Nome and Ta nacross accounted for $8.95M In PCE funds for fiscal year 2014 representing 21.6% of She PCE budge[. Lowering power rates and eMantling landfill capacity will be muhiple wins for Alaska. By selecting this application the Alaskan tax payer will benefit, the Alaskan public will benefit and the Alaskan environment will benefit. CEi is confident to the economi6 and can secure funding for the consiructlpn phase of this project. On behalf of Central Environmental and our partners, we thank ypu For your favoreble consid¢ration of this application. Sincerely, Stuart M. J e resident Central Environmental, Inc.

Knik Arm Power Plant (KAPP) halpetl modernize Alaska's energy infrastructure starting in 1952. KAPP provided power and heat for economic grow and the development of Alaska's economy. Over time Chugach Electric assumed operations and increased power output from 9.5 MW to 14.5 MW in 1958. In the aftermath of the Great Alaska Earthquake of 1964, KAPP was able bring a single generator online within 24 hours providing much needed power for devastated Anchorage. In 1967, KAPP was converted to run on natural gas. KAPP continued to power and heat the Railbelt until 1985 when the plant was shut down and decommissioned. Over the last decade, there have bean numerous attempts to reopen energy operations at KAPP. These resurrection efforts have been well intentioned; however, they have been unable to overcome economic and/or rag ulatory Kurd les. This proposal will demonstrate 400 kWe from recycled construction and demolition (C8.0) cellulose biomass waste at a levelized cost of $0.05 par kWh. With location to downtown Anchorage and the Railbalt, low-cost power will be profitably sold to Alaska Railroad Corporation, Anchorage Municipal Light &Power or Ghugach Electric Association benafitting the Alaskan public while increasing CB.D recycling from 75% to 90%. Lost cost power benefits the Alaskan public. Distributed generation benefits the utilities. Unique to this project, utilizing landfill bound fuel will divert 1,000 tons from Alaskan landfills annually compounding the benefits to the Alaskan public. 2.5 Scope of Work Provide a scope of work detailing the tasks to be pertormad under this funding request. This should include work paid for by grant funds and matching funds or pertormetl as in -kind match. Total grant request is $400,000. Total matching Funds and in -kind match is $2,600,000. Total project budget is $3,000,000. Grant funds of $400,000 will be used for Reconnaissance ($750,000) and Feasibility Analysis and Concept Design <$250,000).

Energy demand in Alaska continues to grow. Anchorage and the surrounding areas support more than half of the population within the state and continue to be the fastest growing community in the state. Energy use has a strong correlation with population density_ This project addresses both the future growth in energy Head and the continued buildup of C&D waste that accumulates at the CEI yard as a result of economic development. This project provides electricity to the grid and cuts back on landfill bound cellulous material, both of which provide a benefit to Alaskans. The electricity generated comes from a renewable resource and frees up valuable landfill space for other valueless material. 5.4.3 Impact on Rates Briefly explain what if any affect your project will have on electrical rates in the proposed benefit area over the life of the project. For PCE eligible communities, please describe the expected impact would be for both pre and post PCE. This project will produce electricity at rates that era lower than currant production rate cost. Electricity will ba produced in a range of $0.05 per kW-hr on a LCOE basis. Electricity will ba wheeled to distribution customers either thru Chugach Electric or MLS.P, or it can be offloaded to the Alaska Railroad Corporation via an existing utility corridor. For economic viability of the project and to ensure proper investment, sales rates will be in line with currant small generator tariff rates of between $0.062-$0.085 per kWh. This rate base is lower than the currant retail rate available in the anchorage municipality and should provide a reliable, distributed energy source that helps reduce the average blended rate [o rate payers. 5.4.4 Proposal System Design Provide the following information for the proposed renewable energy system: A description ofranewabla energy technology spec'Tic to projacttocation Optimum installed capacity n c�pa a capacc� y a or Anticipated annual generation Anticipated barriers Integration plan Delivery methods AEA 15003 Page 20 of 31 7/13/14 Renewable Energy Fund Round IX � AL A-:��" ®�i Grant Application -Standard Form � � EHEH�V nuTHORrry s _- uU.J Supercritical Technologies PowerCube ISX 440, 400 kW¢ Organic Rankine Cycles Plant The renewable energy technology proposed is Organic Rankin¢ Cycles (ORC) power generation using heat from recycled west¢ fuel as the primary source (pictured above). Tha optimum installed capacity in this application is 440 kWe gross, 400 kWa net. The system is expected to prod uca a minimum of 3,434 MWh electricity per year with a capacity factor of 98%. Tha ORC's principle is based on a turbo -generator working to transform thermal energy into electric energy. ORC power systems use the same concepts as a steam engine to make electrical power, however, the working fluid is typically a hydrocarbon ("organic fluid") rather than steam. In the simplified diagram below, flu¢ gas from the biomass incinerator is the heat source. Low grade heat is rejected to atmosphere at higher ambient air temperatures and to the gas turbine inlet air at lower temperatures to improve the emissions profile. Supercritical Technologies PowerCube ISX 440 enhances ORC technology 6y adding superheat and recuperation to increase output and electrical efficiency.
