Edmonton , Alberta-based construction firm PCL Construction and engineering company Stantec have won a USD 121M fixed price design-build contract for the Southeast Treatment Plant Biogas Utilization Project in San Francisco , according to a Jan . 23 news release from PCL . PCL , whose U . S . headquarters are in Denver , expects to complete construction of the project in early 2027 , per the release . Stantec , also based in Edmonton , is acting as lead designer on the build and is underway with the full-scale design of the facility . The project will treat the biogas , generated as a byproduct of wastewater treatment at the |
Southeast Treatment Plant , in the new digesters to transform it to renewable natural gas quality for injection into the nearby Pacific Gas and Electric gas pipeline , per the release . PCL said the project would reduce emissions and support the city ’ s renewable energy goals . The system consists of state-of-the-art gas conditioning and separation processes , which will prepare the renewable natural gas for injection into the existing gas pipeline . The plant , which is the city ’ s largest wastewater treatment facility , handles about 80 % of San Francisco ’ s combined stormwater and wastewater and treats an average of 57 million gallons of wastewater per day , according to PCL . |
DL E & C has secured a contract for a won 236bn combined heat and power plant project from S-OIL . The project secured this time involves a combined heat and power plant with a capacity of 121 megawatts and a production rate of 160 tons of steam per hour . It is set to be completed by December next year at S-OIL ’ s Ulsan plant and will generate and supply its own power . DL E & C will carry out the entire process using the Engineering , Procurement , and Construction ( EPC ) method . Combined heat and power generation uses natural gas as fuel instead of coal . Natural gas is considered a ‘ bridge fuel ’ for |
energy transition as it produces fewer greenhouse gases and fine dust compared to coal . Additionally , the high-temperature exhaust gases generated during the power generation process will not be directly discharged into the atmosphere ; instead , they will be utilized to produce steam through a waste heat recovery boiler for plant operations . DL E & C has won several contracts from S-OIL . The company is currently working on the ‘ Shahin Project ,’ which is constructing South Korea ’ s largest petrochemical facility . It successfully completed multiple large-scale projects , including the ‘ Residue Upgrading Complex ( RUC )’ in 2018 . |
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ( EBRD ) invested EUR 807M in Serbia last year , continuing to scale up its activities in the country . The Bank also mobilised EUR 395M from other investors . The Bank supported a record total of 37 projects across all sectors of the economy . Nearly EUR 500M of last year ’ s investment volume went towards accelerating Serbia ’ s green economy transition , particularly on renewable energy projects , greening district heating networks , and upgrading environmental infrastructure . |
Highlights included a EUR 105M loan for the construction of a large solar thermal plant in Novi Sad which will contribute green energy for the city ’ s district heating , reducing air pollution and providing additional balancing capacity to the power system . In the same sector , the Bank also financed with a EUR 30M loan the piloting of cuttingedge technologies in the district heating systems of ten additional municipalities across the country , including solar-thermal , heat pumps , urban and industrial waste heat recovery , and geothermal power . |
In renewables , the Bank provided a EUR 45M project financing for the first project constructed under the EBRD-supported program of wind and |
solar auctions , the Pupin wind farm , as well as a EUR 67M loan to EPS for the rehabilitation and expansion of the Vlasinske hydro power plant . |
