LOCKHEED MARTIN
Lockheed Martin offers biopower and biofuels from a wide range of non-food biomass feedstock and waste. Lockheed Martin offers multiple technologies from conventional boilers, to a mobile waste to energy system, to an advanced thermo-chemical gasification process to produce heat, power and fuels.
The Owego, NY, plant hosts a fully automated fuel supply and ash removal system. Using discarded wood chips supplied by local lumber mills, the biomass facility supplies steam heat to the 1.6 million square foot site, reducing the plant's carbon footprint by 9,000 metric tons and saving more than $1M per year in fuel costs.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded Lockheed Martin and Whiting Turner a $15 million contract to install a biomass steam-generation system to produce heat and power. The VA Medical Center in Canandaigua, N.Y., will be outfitted with a fully automated system that uses biomass byproducts such as wood chips and bark salvaged from local lumber yards and logging operations to generate clean, steam-powered energy.
Lockheed Martin is working with several different cutting-edge, clean technologies to develop synthetic and biofuels from non-food sources, such as waste and algae.
In 2010, the Defense Logistics Agency awarded Community Power Corporation and Lockheed Martin a $4.4 million contract to build a prototype system that converts garbage into usable, clean fuel. The companies will build and demonstrate a deployable waste-to-fuel system that uses trash found on military bases such as cardboard, paper, plastic and food scraps to produce up to 25 gallons per day of ready-to-use diesel fuel.
