Second chances

摘要

The ReEnergy Black River facility, a wholly owned subsidiary of ReEnergy Holdings, has 60MW of generation capacity. Before it was idled in early 2010 by its former owner, the facility, located at the US Army's Fort Drum installation in New York, primarily burned coal to produce electricity. ReEnergy acquired the facility in December 2011 and invested more than $34 million (?25 million) converting it to use biomass, such as forest-derived woody products and other waste residues, as its primary fuel.
