Waste to Energy Unleashed

View Mark’s Presentation slides.

Can waste be used to produce energy? The answer is YES.

The Municipality of Anchorage is designing and permitting a mass-burn waste-to-energy project that would generate 20-30 MW of reliable, renewable power for the state grid.

Hear from Mark Spafford, Deputy Municipal Manager and Anchorage Hydropower Utility Director, about how this transformative project will:

• Extend the Anchorage Regional Landfill’s lifespan
• Offset natural gas needs amid looming shortages
• Dispose of wastewater sludge, saving $100M in capital costs
• Treat PFAS-contaminated soils
• Establish Alaska’s first hazardous waste disposal facility
