资料简介

美国能源部(DOE)编制了本环境评估报告(EA),以评估向Viresco Energy,LLC(Viresco)提供财政援助以建设和运营位于犹他州卡纳布的煤炭和生物质燃料试点工厂的潜在影响。该工厂将位于犹他州学校和机构信托土地管理局租赁给Viresco的土地上。该试点工厂占地约1.5英亩,占地10英亩,位于卡纳布犹他市区南部约2.5英里处。2010财政年度能源和水资源开发及相关机构拨款法案(公法111-85)包括当时犹他州参议员贝内特为“犹他州煤和生物质燃料试验工厂”赞助的250万美元专项拨款。根据该专项拨款,能源部将向Viresco提供财政援助,以支持其设计,中试规模蒸汽加氢气化设施的建造和测试。根据一项多边协议,能源部将提供2404000美元(约占研究开发项目总成本的80%),Viresco将贡献剩余的601000美元。试点工厂将由Viresco建造、拥有和运营。Viresco负责获得项目所需的许可证和其他授权;DOE对项目或其运营没有监管权。根据合作协议,Viresco将运营该试验工厂,并在数月内收集一系列总计30天的试运行数据;在能源部的财政援助结束后,Viresco计划为继续运营寻求额外资金。Viresco提出的项目的目标是对蒸汽加氢气化反应(SHR)过程进行中试评估。试验工厂将是一个小型设施,旨在评估利用蒸汽加氢气化将煤和生物质(如农业或木材加工废料)转化为合成气(合成气)并最终转化为清洁燃料(如替代天然气、无硫费托柴油、喷气燃料)的技术可行性,二甲醚和甲烷。该SHR气化技术的中试成功运行,将为开发该工艺的商业化途径提供所需的工程信息。该项目支持能源部以高效和环境可接受的方式开发和利用国内煤炭和可再生资源的目标。这项技术采用先进的气化工艺,生产清洁燃料。向煤炭原料中添加生物质还可减少温室气体净排放量。环境评估发现,Viresco拟议项目最显著的潜在变化将出现在以下领域:土地利用、美学、空气质量、固体和危险废物、公用事业和社会经济。在分析这些潜在变化时,没有发现明显的环境影响。

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential impacts of providing financial assistance to Viresco Energy, LLC, (Viresco) for its construction and operation of a Coal and Biomass Fueled Pilot Plant, that would be located in Kanab, Utah. The plant would be located on land leased to Viresco by the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration. The Pilot Plant would occupy approximately 1.5 acres of a 10-acre site located approximately 2.5 miles south of the downtown area of Kanab, Utah. The Fiscal Year 2010 Appropriations Act for Energy & Water Development and Related Agencies (Public Law 111-85) included a $2,500,000 earmark sponsored by then Senator Bennett of Utah for the “Utah Coal and Biomass Fueled Pilot Plant.” In accordance with the earmark, DOE would provide financial assistance to Viresco to support its design, construction, and testing of a pilot-scale steam hydrogasification facility. Under a costsharing agreement, DOE would provide $2,404,000 (approximately 80 percent of the total cost of the research and development project) and Viresco would contribute the remaining $601,000. The Pilot Plant would be constructed, owned, and operated by Viresco. Viresco is responsible for obtaining the permits and other authorizations needed for the project; DOE would have no regulatory authority over the project or its operation. Under the cooperative agreement, Viresco would operate the Pilot Plant and collect data for a series of test runs totaling 30 days of operation over a period of months; after DOE’s financial assistance ends, Viresco plans to seek additional funding for continued operations. The objective of Viresco’s proposed project is to conduct a pilot-scale evaluation of the Steam Hydrogasification Reaction (SHR) process. The Pilot Plant would be a small-scale facility designed to evaluate the technical feasibility of using steam hydrogasification to convert coal and biomass (such as agricultural or wood processing waste) into synthesis gas (syngas), and ultimately into clean fuels such as substitute natural gas, sulfur-free Fischer-Tropsch diesel, jet fuel, dimethyl ether, and methane. The successful operation of this SHR gasification technology at a pilot scale would provide engineering information needed to develop a commercialization pathway for this process. This project supports DOE’s goal of developing and using domestic coal and renewable resources in an efficient and environmentally acceptable manner. This technology uses an advanced gasification process and produces clean fuels. The addition of biomass to the coal feedstock also reduces net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The EA found that the most notable potential changes from Viresco’s proposed project would occur in the following areas: land use, aesthetics, air quality, solid and hazardous wastes, utilities, and socioeconomics. No significant environmental effects were identified in analyzing these potential changes.
