This introductory level session provides an overview of the spectrum of options available to reduce, or at least offset, the energy footprint of your sites. We explain what renewable energy credits (REC) really are, provide information about generating small-scale renewable energy on-site using mobile systems and cover the basics of how to evaluate the feasibility of using on-site renewable energy to power a remedy. The session includes a presentation on a Screening-Level Renewable Energy Assessment that was conducted for a site in the EPA Region 3, which systematically evaluated the existing energy infrastructure available for the site and options for onsite electricity generation via wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and hydropower. Our goal is that participants leave the session with sufficient information to feel comfortable evaluating and selecting greener energy strategies for their sites. This course should be suitable for all RPMs.
