- Sources Sought: EXTENDED TO 04/16/10 Renewable Natural Gas/Alternative Methane Synopsis: The Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, manager and operator of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is planning to replace fossil fuel natural gas used at its two research campuses located near Golden, Colorado with natural gas from renewable sources. The purpose of this sources sought notice is to obtain an expression of interest and capabilities of potential subcontractors and suppliers. Background: NREL currently has conventional natural gas fueled combustion equipment. As part of NREL’s mission to promote renewable energy use and to meet federal mandates to reduce fossil fuel consumption NREL is seeking renewable sources of natural gas derived from biodigesters, landfills, wastewater treatment plants, thermal gasification of biomass, or some other means. The intent is for renewable methane gas to be produced at the feedstock source and transmitted to NREL using the natural gas pipeline grid. In concept renewable gas would be similar to purchasing natural gas at the well head and transporting it to the end user. NREL anticipates issuing a request for proposal in early 2010 to qualified sources. In order to determine qualifications please provide the following: 1) Brief background of capabilities. 2) Previous relevant experience. 3)Demonstrated ability to provide NREL with 30,000 dekatherms (dekatherm = 1 million BTU) per year of renewable natural gas/alternative methane and future ability to provide increased renewable natural gas/alternative methane. Annual usage is expected to increase to 100,000 dekatherms by 2014 at the NREL campus expands. 4)Delivery capabilities. 5)Evidence of risk and risk management plan. 6)Compliance with applicable California Climate Action Reserve protocol a.Organic Waste Digestion Project Protocol b.Landfill Project Protocol c.Livestock Project Protocol 7)Primary contact person name, address, telephone numbers facsimile number, and email address.
