Taylor Biomass Energy intends on constructing an integrated biorefinery at its Montgomery site in New York. The planned process will recover biomass from waste materials that would otherwise be used as landfill, convert them to a high value synthesis gas and then convert this sythesis gas along with other thermal energy into ethanol and electricity. This system will have immense flexibility in the form of biomass it will be able to accept which will give it a rapid commercial capability.

Three essential elements will make up the Montgomery facility. A Sorting, Separation and Recycling system will provide the materials for the gasifier. A gasifier with a capacity of 370 tons per day. An integrated conversion which can produce both 2 million gallons of ethanol per year and a power island to convert the MCV gas into 24 MW of electricity. This would be enough electricity to power 25,000 homes.

A couple of notable environmental benefits above the obvious reduction in landfill are going to make this project even more attractive. The waste is generated locally, converted locally and the electricity will be used locally making this an intimately sustainable project. Additionally it eliminates the need to truck the waste to Pennsylvania where it would be dumped in a landfill.
