ARC 1.2345 – Waste Heat Boiler System:
This project involves installing a waste heat boiler (WHB) at our facility – which was recommended in the assessment report starting on page 5 – to recover process exhaust gas that can be used for heating process across the site. As listed out in row 2 of the summary table on page 2, the installation of the WHB will allow the facility to reduce its natural gas/energy consumption by 30% and reduce the sites GHG emissions by 20%. This project will be led by John Doe, the facilities Operations Manager. The estimated implementation timeline for the project is approximately 1 year. In the first 3 months, we will focus on purchasing all the necessary equipment. After we receive the equipment, the following eight months will focus on installing the boiler. To execute this work, we will leverage external contractors. Lastly, the remaining two months will focus on starting up the boiler. A combination of the engineering and operations team will help execute this portion of the project until the boiler is operational. -
ARC 2.3456 – 100 kW Photovoltaic (PV) Array:
This project involves installing a 100-kW photovoltaic (PV) array on the facilities roof facility – which was recommended in the assessment report starting on page 10 – to generate on-site power. As listed out in row 3 of the summary table on page 2 – this project will improve site energy efficiency by 15% while lowering site scope 2 emissions by 20%. It was recommended in the assessment report starting on page 8. The estimated timeframe for installing the project is approximately 6 months. The project team will be led by our site project manager, Jane Doe. The first two month of the project will be used to purchase and obtain the necessary equipment. Finally, the remaining 4 months of the project will be focused on installing and operationalizing the photovoltaic cells. The installation of the PV array will be executed by our internal electricians and maintenance team, while our site engineers will work with our operations team to start up the PV array and get it operational.
Need for Financial Assistance
Please describe the impact that DOE funding will have on the project implementation, and why it cannot be funded wholly through other sources. Describe any efforts to secure other funding (e.g., loans, energy service contracts, etc.) and plans for other funding mechanisms to support the proposed project.
- Manufacturer X is a small manufacturer with limited available capital on hand to fund implementation of the two projects listed above – specifically, our cash on hand is insufficient to bear the upfront costs, let alone other capital needs. The total cost to implement the two projects listed above is approximately $600K. We have secured a $200K loan from a local green bank and qualify for a $50K utility incentive for installing a PV array. However, even with this funding, there is still $350K of additional capital needed to fund the projects. The implementation grant funding at 50% cost share would provide us with an additional $300K that will enable us to prioritize and implement these projects by reducing our internal capital requirement to a more-affordable $50K and enabling us to reduce the payback period on these projects from a combined four years to less than two years (including the grant and utility incentive).
Community Benefits
- Please describe how the proposed project will provide benefits to the surrounding community either – environmentally (e.g., reducing non-carbon pollution) and/or economically (e.g., create or retain high paying jobs). Additionally, please note any steps your company takes to ensure high-quality jobs (e.g., pursuant to the Good Jobs Principles, any labor- management partnerships, participation in registered apprenticeship programs, etc.) and diversity, equity, inclusion, or accessibility measures.
- Note to applicants: We understand that not all applicants may have all of these attributes, but we encourage applicants to highlight concrete specifics as much as possible like those below.
- Our manufacturing facility is located at 123 Main Street, Cityville, State 54321, which is in a disadvantaged community based on the Climate & Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST; https://screeningtool.geoplatform.gov/). This project will result in significant scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction for the surrounding community (~75 mt./yr of total CO2e abated).
- Manufacturer X has selected local Contractor Y to execute our Waste Heat Boiler project. By selecting Contractor Y, a woman-owned business, this grant funding will be able to ensure that we are keeping local dollars in our community.
- Manufacturer X operators are members of Local Union 1234, with whom we have a collective bargaining agreement. Additionally, participation in registered apprenticeship program is a key strategy to provide hands-on training and upskilling for our employees. Currently, we have 10 employees participating in Apprenticeship Program X, which is a registered apprenticeship program with State Apprenticeship Agency Y.
- Finally, Manufacturer X strives to ensure that we are creating and retaining high quality jobs at our facility. We currently provide a starting wage for shop floor employees of SXX per hour and median wage of $YY, which is well above the state median wage of $ZZ (per https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oessrcst.htm.
