Thought Leaders on Infrastructure video series. Rick Geddes explains how value capture can be derived from wastewater treatment plants, landfills, chicken farms and cattle ranches where methane is produced. Methane can be captured and converted into electricity, which can then be sold back to the electrical grid. Investors can finance the installation of the technology to capture the methane, thus creating a “win-win” scenario. Cornell University: Cornell Jeb E.

5moRick Geddes & Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy (CPIP) 🌟 I found a lot of value in this post. 🌟 With how you’ve defined “Value Capture”, I was reminded of the types of Project Financing & PPA Power Purchase Agreements done through the DOE Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP). Questions: 1. Is the FEMP PPA the same type program you are advocating for in this video? 2. What different types of challenges arise for these arrangements when comparing State Owned Infrastrcuture VS Federally Owned? https://www.energy.gov/femp/articles/power-purchase-agreements https://www.energy.gov/femp/federal-site-electricity-contracts Video Excerpt: “The nice thing about a value capture arrangement like that is that the lowering of the bill or the savings, the value you create with the electricity can be borrowed against to install the technology. So there's no cost to the owner of the infrastructure, if the deal is properly structured to installing the technology. So it's a win win on all sides.”
