• The Roxboro facility uses a nominal mixture of one- third wood residuals, one-third tire-derived fuel, and one-third coal.
• Electric output from the facility is sold under a PPA to Progress Energy
• A significant investment in emissions control equipment has reduced NOx emissions by approximately 45% and SO2 emissions by approximately 20%.
• Particulate emissions are controlled by the use of engineered fabric filter (the technology is known as a “bag house”), which keeps particulates from the plant well under state regulations
