Texzon partner, Clarke Energy is pleased to announce the official commissioning of our
most recent renewable natural gas (RNG) project completed in the United States. The site
at BioTown Biogas in Reynolds, Indiana is now home to one of the largest on-farm biogas
upgrading facilities in the country. Carefully processing roughly 500,000 gallons/day of
agricultural waste – this system highlights Clarke Energy’s ability to deliver the latest biogas
upgrading equipment for large-scale sustainable agriculture practices and renewable
energy production applications.
BioTown Biogas has been a pioneer in emission reduction strategies for the five area farms
it serves. The north central Indiana farming co-op, formerly known as BioTown Ag, has
successfully implemented a state-of-the-art system to further progress sustainable
agricultural practices. Clarke Energy engineered and delivered the solution to process the
manure and other organic farm waste from nearly 25,000 local dairy cows. The newly
commissioned project is expected to reduce total CO2 emissions by approximately 150,000
tons per year as compared to the previous methods of waste management.
This turnkey project will ultimately produce 1,000 SCFM of RNG for grid injection, in
addition to the 1.4MW of renewable electricity and 5,300 MBTU/hr. of renewable heat
utilized for the anaerobic digesters and other system processes. The 1.4MW Jenbacher
JMC 420 biogas-powered CHP engine, installed and serviced by Clarke Energy, is an
anchoring piece in the decarbonization project. The combined heat and power engine
generates renewable electricity and heat by making use of the methane rich biogases
accumulating in site digestors. Texzon Utilities in association with Clarke Energy has
showcased its expertise in the field of CHP engine applications with the incorporation and
development of this biogas upgrading facility.
This renewable energy project exemplifies our company’s commitment to decarbonization
and decentralized power projects in the United States and around the world. We are proud
to continue delivering net-zero carbon emission solutions, as well as utilizing the latest
technologies in biogas upgrading equipment and RNG production. “This day represents a
tipping point for our region, for the energy industry, and for a more sustainable future,” said
Indiana Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch, the state’s Secretary of Agriculture and
Rural Development. “With the commissioning of this renewable energy facility, BioTown
Biogas and the State of Indiana are claiming our position on the leading edge of a new era
in clean energy production. Indiana is eager to see and support more of this type of
investment in the state.”

Biogas from Waste Disposal and treatment of biological waste represent a major challenge for the waste
industry. For a wide range of organic substances from agriculture, foodstuff of feed industries, anaerobic
digestion is a superior alternative to composting. Biogas – a mixture of both methane and carbon dioxide
– is created during anaerobic digestion and serves as a high-energy renewable fuel that can be used as a
substitute for fossil fuels. Biogas-fueled gas engines improve waste management while maximizing the
use of an economical energy supply.
3|Page
Biogas Creation
Biogas results from anaerobic fermentation of organic materials. As a metabolic product of the
participating methanogens and acidogenic bacteria, the prerequisites for its production are a lack of
oxygen, a pH value from 6.5 to 7.5 and a constant temperature of 35-45°C (mesophilic) or 45-55°C
(thermophilic). The digestion period or retention period is typically between 10 and 30 days depending
upon the type of digestion employed. The anaerobic digestion systems of today operate largely within
the mesophilic temperature range
Conversion Steps from Waste to Power
The process of biogas generation is divided into four steps: 1. Preparation of the input waste material –
including removal of physical contaminants, particle size reduction & pasteurization 2. Digestion
(fermentation), consisting of hydrolysis, acetogenesis, acidogenesis and methanogenesis 3. Conversion
of the biogas to renewable electricity and useful heat 4. Post-treatment of the digestate Initially the
feedstock to the digesters is received in a primary pit or liquid storage tank. From here it is loaded into
the digester by various different means depending upon the constitution of waste materials. In the
digestion tanks a series of biological processes are harnessed in order to produce biogas. Hydrolysis is
the process where the organic material is solubilized into the digestion liquid. It then undergoes the
intermediate steps of acidogenesis and acetogenesis which create the precursor molecules for
methanogenesis. Methanogens feed off these precursors and produce methane as a cellular waste
product. The biogas containing this biologically-derived methane is contained and captured in a gas
storage tank which is located separately to the main digester, or alternatively can form its roof. The gas
storage tank acts as a buffer in order to balance fluctuations in the production of gas in the digester.

WASTEWATER and INDUSTRY professionals once accepted the high costs of operating
wastewater and bio-waste treatment as a consequence of meeting their discharge permit
requirements. As the cost of energy rises and emphasis on renewable energy increases, local
authorities and municipalities are seeking solutions that save money and meet renewable
requirements. Jenbacher gas engines provide a renewable energy solution through combined
heat and power (CHP) technology that results in long-term savings for wastewater treatment
plants. Alternatively, biogas upgrading plants can convert biogas to biomethane for injection
into the gas grid or for vehicle fuel.
Benefits of CHP for Industrial Applications
• Generation of renewable energy from a waste material through cogeneration / CHP
• Reduction in carbon emissions especially compared to aerobic sewage treatment
• Economical onsite electrical power production and reduced transmission losses
• Production of a low-carbon fertilizer / soil improver
• Cost effective, proven technology
Waste Treatment Energy Costs
Waste treatment processes include energy-intensive operations such as aeration and pumping.
As a result, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) require significant energy consumption. As
electrical prices increase, plant operators are facing higher energy costs in order to meet
discharge permit requirements. The second leading expense for WWTP (wastewater treatment)
owners is the cost of energy, behind only personnel. For plants, who employ anaerobic
digestion for biosolids treatment, the process of combusting digester gas to produce electricity
and heat through cogeneration/CHP may provide a solution to rising operational costs.
A large proportion of the world’s sewage systems do not recover value from the sewage in the
form of electricity and heat. But the renewable energy fuel source derived from sewage gas can
be converted using reciprocating gas engines, to electricity and heat, offsetting as much as two-
thirds of a plant’s electricity demand and eliminating the need to purchase fossil fuels for plant
heating processes.

COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP), also known as
cogeneration, is:
The concurrent production of electricity or mechanical
power and useful thermal energy (heating and/or
cooling) from a single source of energy.
A type of distributed generation, which, unlike central
station generation, is located at or near the point of
consumption.
A suite of technologies that can use a variety of fuels to
generate electricity or power at the point of use,
allowing the heat that would normally be lost in the
power generation process to be recovered to provide
needed heating and/or cooling.
CHP technology can be deployed quickly, cost-
CHP applications can operate at about 75% efficiency,
effectively, and with few geographic limitations. CHP
a significant improvement over the national average
can use a variety of fuels, both fossil- and renewable- of about 50% for these services when provided
based. It has been employed for many years, mostly in separate
industrial, large commercial, and institutional
applications. CHP may not be widely recognized outside
industrial, commercial, institutional, and utility circles,
but it has quietly been providing highly efficient
electricity and process heat to some of the most vital
industries, largest employers, urban centers, and
campuses in the United States. It is reasonable to
expect CHP applications to operate at 65%–75%
efficiency, a large improvement over the national
average of about 50% for these services when
separately provided.

While CHP has been in use in the United States for
more than 100 years, it remains an underutilized
resource today. CHP currently represents
approximately 8% of U.S. generating capacity4 ,
compared to over 30% in many other western
countries. Its use in the U.S. has been limited,
particularly in recent years, by a host of market and
non-market barriers. Nevertheless, the outlook for
increased CHP use is bright as policymakers at the
federal and state level are recognizing the potential
benefits and the role that this technology could play
in providing clean, reliable, cost-effective energy
services to industry and businesses. There are
several emerging market drivers contributing to
current combined heat and power growth, including:
• Lower Operating Costs: Compared to
conventional power generation techniques,
CHP systems can save money through
increased energy efficiency. Higher operating
efficiencies enable CHP systems to consume
up to 40% less fuel while generating the
same amount of power and useful thermal
energy as separate heat and power systems.
With stable and low-cost natural gas supply
forecasts stemming from the development of
shale gas production, the economics of CHP
have been improving.
• Environmental Regulations: Recent
environmental regulations have created
opportunities for combined heat and power
to help meet compliance goals.
• Resiliency: In the event of a man-made or natural disaster that causes a grid outage, CHP systems can
be configured to be more resilient and reliable than traditional backup generators. During recent
storm events such as Hurricane Sandy, CHP systems enabled a number of critical infrastructure
facilities to continue their operations when the electric grid went down. Texzon Utilities in association
with Clarke Energy will provide guidance and engineering on how CHP can enhance the resiliency of
critical facilities, and the best way to size such systems.
9|Page
• Policy Support: A number of federal and state
policies and financial incentives have strongly
encouraged the market for combined heat and
power. At the federal level, currently there is a
30% investment tax credit and MACRS
depreciation for CHP along with robust grants to
offset costs. Texzon Utilities has incentive and
federal grant writers in-house as a value-added
service.
• CHP can be utilized in a variety of industrial
facilities and commercial buildings with
coincident power and thermal loads. The
majority of existing CHP capacity in the United
States is in the industrial sector and is
concentrated in five major facility types:
chemicals, refining, paper, food and metals
manufacturing.
Combined heat and power (CHP) is an efficient and
clean approach to generating electric power and
useful thermal energy from a single fuel source.
Instead of purchasing electricity from the
distribution grid and separately burning fuel in an
on-site furnace or boiler to produce thermal energy,
an industrial or commercial facility can use
combined heat and power to provide both services
in one, energy-efficient step. CHP is a clean energy
solution that directly addresses a number of national
priorities, including improving U.S. competitiveness
by:
• Reducing energy operating costs
• increasing energy efficiency
• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
• Enhancing our energy infrastructure
• Improving energy security and resiliency
• Growing” the U.S. economy

COMMUNITY SCALE SOLAR has been generating reliable, clean electricity with a stable fuel
price for decades. Developing community-scale solar power is one of the fastest ways to reduce
carbon emissions and put the United States on a path to a clean energy future.
A scalable solar power plant can utilize several solar technologies – primary photovoltaics (PV)
or concentrating solar power (CSP). What distinguishes increased grid reliability and utility-scale
solar from distributed generation is both project size and the fact that the electricity is sold to
wholesale utility buyers (takers), not end-use consumers.
Community-scale solar power provide the benefit of fixed-priced electricity during peak
demand periods when electricity from fossil fuels is the most expensive.
Many community-scale solar designs can also include energy storage capacity that provides
power resiliency.
11 | P a g e
SOLAR ENERGY is the fastest growing and most affordable source of new electricity in America
and overseas. As the cost of solar energy systems dropped significantly, more businesses,
industry, and municipalities have taken advantage of clean energy.
Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems are expected to operate for at least 20 - 30 years. The
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) supports Texzon
Utilities and our network efforts to extend the useful PV system life to 50 years. How well a
system performs during its lifespan directly affects project cash flows, which largely determine
the value of those systems. It also affects operation and planning activities for the electric grid.
There are many different applications that provide Texzon the ability to model the operation of
PV systems before they are constructed, which helps to reduce financial and reliability risks.
These models use meteorological inputs and a mathematical representation of the system to
calculate the energy and rate plan that will be generated over any time interval of interest—
from minutes to decades.
Texzon Utilities in accordance with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy
Technologies Office offer three resources to help our clients navigate changes to the federal
solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which was expanded in 2022 through the passage of the
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). These resources—for businesses, manufacturers, and
municipalities—provide thorough overviews of the ITC, Production Tax Credit (PTC), MACRS
Depreciation and Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit (MPTC). They demystify the
tax code with intuitive explanations and examples, answer frequently asked questions, and
explain the process of claiming valued tax credits.

HOW DOES SOLAR WORK?
The amount of sunlight that strikes the earth's surface in an
hour and a half is enough to manage the entire world's energy
consumption for a full year. Solar technologies convert
sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV)
panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.
This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in
batteries or thermal storage.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY RESOURCES
Photovoltaic and concentrating solar-thermal
power technologies, electrical grid systems integration, and
the non-hardware aspects (soft costs) of solar energy. You can
also learn more about how to go solar and the solar energy
industry. In addition, you can dive deeper into solar energy
and learn more about how Texzon Utilities is driving
implementation in these areas.
Solar Energy 101
Solar radiation is light – also known as electromagnetic
radiation – that is emitted by the sun. While every location on
Earth receives some sunlight over a year, the amount of solar
radiation that reaches any one spot on the Earth’s surface
varies. Solar technologies capture this radiation and turn it
into useful forms of energy.
Photovoltaics Basics
There are two main types of solar energy technologies—
photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar-thermal
power (CSP).
You're likely most familiar with PV, which is utilized in solar
panels. When the sun shines onto a solar panel, energy from
the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This
energy creates electrical charges that move in response to an
internal electrical field in the cell, causing electricity to flow.
Concentrating Solar-Thermal Power Basics
Concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) systems use
mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto
receivers that collect solar energy and convert it to heat,
which can then be used to produce electricity or stored
for later use. It is used primarily in very large power
plants.

BESS BASICS: BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR PV-SOLAR
Energy storage systems capture surplus energy during times of high production/low demand and store it for
use during times of low production/high demand. While not a new technology, energy storage is rapidly
gaining traction as a way to provide a stable and consistent supply of renewable energy to the grid.
The energy storage system of most interest to solar PV producers is the battery energy storage system, or
BESS. While only 2–3% of energy storage systems in the U.S. are BESS (most are still hydro pumps), there is
an increasing move to integrate BESS with renewables.
WHAT IS A BESS AND WHAT ARE ITS KEY CHARACTERISTICS?
Largely, BESS systems use lithium-ion batteries to store electricity. They can be used either as stand-alone or
coupled with renewable energy sources.
Main characteristics used by the industry, and which vary with different BESS chemistries are:
• Rated Power Capacity
• Rated Energy Capacity
• Depth of Discharge (DOD)
• Storage Duration
• Cycle Life
• State of Charge (SOC)
• Round-Trip Efficiency
• System Life
• Safety Monitoring and Control
WHAT ARE THE MAJOR PARTS OF A BESS?
A typical BESS includes:
• Battery modules – connected in series and parallel for required capacity.
• Storage enclosure with thermal management.
• Power conversion system (PCS) – All the clusters from the battery system are connected to a
common DC bus and further DC bus extended to PCS.
• Battery management system (BMS), which continuously monitors the voltage, temperature,
fire warning and state of charge (SOC) of the battery. It regulates the charging and
discharging power depending on input signal.
• Energy management system (EMS) – The control logic is executed at EMS. It will provide
input signal to PCS for charge/discharge depending on control logic requirement.
A BESS is an energy source, and like any energy source that feeds the grid, it must be managed and
controlled. At Texzon Utilities, we provide SCADA and EMS solutions for monitoring and controlling BESS per
site requirements.
14 | P a g e
WHY IS INTEGRATION OF BESS GAINING TRACTION?
BESS systems are gaining traction for both technical and commercial reasons. Technically, they provide
immense benefits to the grid:
• Use in emergency response systems or for storm outages
• Frequency regulation
• Grid stability
• Reduction of grid congestion
• Ramp rate control
• Energy arbitrage
• Peak shaving
• Black start – quick energy or stabilizing energy to get the grid started at a good response rate
What's most exciting is the use of BESS in helping the world transition to renewable energy.
Renewables are intermittent in nature—production goes up when the sun is shining, and the wind is blowing
but goes down when the day is overcast, or the winds die down. On the current grid, on-demand gas power is
still needed to fill in the gaps. As more renewables come online and begin contributing to the grid in order to
meet increasing energy demand, energy storage technologies, including BESS, can help ensure a stable,
steady supply of energy.
Being able to store excess energy is also a financial benefit to renewable energy producers. Instead of having
to curtail production, at the request of the grid or utility, that curtailment can be stored. When production
later goes down, that stored energy is available for sale to fill in the gaps.
Another reason for the rise in BESS systems is the affordability of lithium-ion batteries. The prices for this
technology are going down and are expected to go even lower. This is moving the needle away from older
existing energy storage systems and towards BESS.

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Charging equipment for EVs is classified by the rate at which the batteries are charged. Charging times vary
based on how depleted the battery is (i.e., state-of-charge), how much energy it holds (i.e., capacity), the type of
battery, the vehicle's internal charger capacity, and the type of charging equipment (e.g., charging level, charger
power output, and electrical service specifications). The charging time can range from less than 20 minutes using
DC fast chargers to 20 hours or more using Level 1 chargers, depending on these and other factors.
When choosing equipment for a specific application, many factors, such as networking, payment capabilities, and
operations and maintenance should be considered.
AC Level 2 equipment (often referred to simply as Level 2) offers charging through 240 V (typical in residential
applications) or 208 V (typical in commercial applications) electrical service. Level 2 equipment is also commonly
used for public, and workplace charging and can operate at 40 to 80 amperes (Amp). Most residential Level 2
chargers operate at up to 30 Amps, delivering 7.2 kW of power. These units require a dedicated 40-Amp circuit
to comply with the National Electric Code requirements in Article 625.
Level 2 charging equipment uses the same J1772 connector that Level 1 equipment uses. All commercially
available EVs in the United States have the ability to charge using Level 1 and Level 2 charging equipment.
Vehicles with a J3400 (also referred to as NACS, or North American Charging Standard) connector (currently only
Tesla vehicles) can use the connector for all charging levels, including Tesla's Level 2 Destination Chargers and
chargers for home. All Tesla vehicles come with a J1772 adapter, which allows them to use non-Tesla Level 2
charging equipment.
† A Level 2 unit can range from 2.9 to 19.2 kW power output.
16 | P a g e
Direct Current DC fast charging equipment (typically a three-phase AC input) enables rapid charging along
heavy traffic corridors at installed stations. The availability of DC fast charging is expected to increase as a
result of federal funding to build a national EV charging network, such as the National Electric Vehicle
Infrastructure Formula Program or national Alternative Fuel Corridors grant program. Additionally, DC fast
charging is projected to increase due to fleets adopting medium- and heavy-duty EVs (e.g., commercial trucks
and vans and transit), as well as the installation of fast charging hubs for transportation network.
There are three types of DC fast charging systems, depending on the type of charge port on the vehicle: SAE
Combined Charging System (CCS), CHAdeMO, and J3400.
The CCS connector (also known as SAE J1772 combo) lets drivers use the same charge port with AC Level 1,
Level 2, and DC fast charging equipment. The only difference is that the DC fast charging connector has two
additional bottom pins. Most EV models on the market can charge using the CCS connector.
The CHAdeMO connector is another common DC fast connector type among Japanese automakers.
SAE International is standardizing the J3400 connector based on the design for the NACS connector, which
works for all charging levels.

BACKUP POWER GENERATORS
The costs of a power outage to a business can be
substantial, including losses in product, revenue,
productivity, and customers. With increasing severe
weather events and disasters triggering greater numbers
of costly power outages, there is a growing interest in
generators for reliable backup power. Municipalities and
businesses are either considering installing backup
generators or—in the case of facilities such as hospitals
and airports that are required to and already have backup
power—are considering redundant backup systems for
added resilience against grid outages. For decision makers
to make informed choices, it is important to understand
the cost and reliability associated with various backup
system configurations.
Grid-connected generators can create positive economic
value and have significantly lower failure rates than
backup-only generators. The more regularly a generator is
used, the more likely it is to be well-maintained and
functioning properly. At the same time, backup generators
are not designed for continuous operation, and both
diesel and natural gas generators have relatively high
operating costs compared to typical grid prices. This
makes backup generators best suited for services in which
the generator only runs for a limited number of hours.
Regions with coincident peak charges, along with regions
that have curtailable tariffs and/or emergency standby
participation, are well suited to be served by backup
generators and can generate significant revenues for
backup system operators.

The standby power generators of today are
supplying a wider variety of loads than have
been historically seen. Capacitive loads are
defying the general assumptions of what a
load application looks like and may require
new or modified specifications. Larger
power networks are involving more voltages
throughout the installation, requiring careful
consideration of how to manage not only
the loads, but also the equipment between
the source and loads. With careful planning
and consideration of available strategies,
capacitive loads and transformer inrush can
be successfully managed to keep
installations in power.
