Provide feedback on projects under consideration

TerraPass ensures that its offset projects are of the highest quality. An important part of this process is opening up potential new projects for comments from all interested parties. We welcome comments from our customers, from anyone familiar with the projects themselves, from policy experts, and from the general public.

If you have any feedback for us regarding these projects – their environmental records, the importance of TerraPass support to project success, or anything else, please provide it via email as noted below. We will summarize the feedback we receive when we publish our final verdict on a project.

Please provide your name and contact details in your email. If you wish to remain anonymous, please explain why anonymity is important (we understand that this will sometimes be the case). We reserve the right to leave inflammatory or inappropriate comments out of our summary.

Projects open for public comment

Noblehurst Farms - Linwood, NY

Noblehurst Farms is one of the first digester projects in the state of New York. The project reduces greenhouse gases through three means: destruction of methane from dairy operations; generation of clean energy; and energy efficiency improvements through on-farm generation of heat. See details »

Past projects

Scenic View Dairy I

Scenic View Dairy I (Fennville) is the first digester project in the state of Michigan and the first digester project in the US to generate both electricity and pipeline grade natural gas. The project benefits climate change strategies by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced in dairy operations, as well as reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from the public electricity grid, by substituting fossil fuel based power with clean renewable power.

Leaning Juniper I

Leaning Juniper I is the first wind project in the Columbia River Gorge. The project benefits climate change strategies by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced in the public electricity grid, by substituting fossil fuel based power with clean renewable power.

Greater Lebanon Refuse Authority

The "Greater Lebanon Refuse Authority Landfill Flaring and Gas-to-Energy Project" is a two-phased project at the solid waste landfill that serves the communities in Lebanon County, PA. The project benefits climate change strategies by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases (methane) that would otherwise be released from the landfill. The methane is destroyed by combustion in generators or in an enclosed flare. In January, 2008 the EPA's Landfill Methane Outreach Program recognized the Authority and its energy partner, PPL Renewable Energy, as Community Partners of the Year for their commitment to renewable energy education at the GLRA landfill.

Foote Creek I

Foote Creek I wind project is the first commercial wind farm in Wyoming, and one of the first wind project to launch based on the voluntary market support. The project benefits climate change strategies by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced in the public electricity grid, by substituting fossil fuel based power with clean renewable power.

Rock River wind farm

Rock River wind project is the first commercial wind farm from Shell WindEnergy, located near Foote Creek I in Wyoming. The project benefits climate change strategies by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced in the public electricity grid, by substituting fossil fuel based power with clean renewable power. The project was part of an innovating financing bundle that won Project of the Year from Project Finance Magazine.

Geerlings Hillside Farms

Geerlings Hillside Farms is the first centralized digester project in the state of Michigan. The project benefits climate change strategies by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced in piggery operations, as well as reducing the greenhouse gases from the facilities electricity by substituting fossil fuel based power with clean renewable power. The project is not yet operational. Construction is expected to be complete in March, 2008.

Scenic View Dairy II

Scenic View Dairy II (Freeport) is the third digester project in the state of Michigan and sister project to Scenic View I. The project benefits climate change strategies by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced in dairy operations, as well as reducing the greenhouse gases from the public electricity grid, by substituting fossil fuel based power with clean renewable power. The project is under construction and is expected to begin operations in April 2008.
