Living Innovation: EBMUD's Challenges Along the Path to Energy Self Sufficiency
Abstract
Over the past decade, the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) in Oakland, California, has been moving from the traditional “treatment and disposal” paradigm to utilizing the infrastructure and intellectual capital within the agency in a concerted effort to generate renewable energy. The key component of this transition is the successful growth of a resource recovery program that accepts trucked-in, high-strength wastes for conversion in anaerobic digesters to biog as and renewable electricity. Following expansion of its onsite power cogeneration facility in 2012, EBMUD began producing more electricity than is required to treat wastewater at its Main Wastewater Treatment Plant (Chakrabarti, et al., 2011). However, EBMUD has faced numerous challenges along its journey on various fronts, including technical, legal, contractual, regulatory, permitting, risk management, labor, and financial issues. Because this was uncharted territory, EBMUD engaged in a sustained period of adopting new, creative approaches to meet the se challenges.
