FUTURE FOR MAINE
Transforming Sanford's
biosolids into renewable energy
Every day, municipal wastewater treatment plants in Maine process wastewater from homes and businesses and generate biosolids, a material that requires safe and timely disposal. Until recently, much of this material has been land-applied as fertilizer, but growing concerns over forever chemicals (PFAS) have led to a statewide ban on biosolids land application. Now, 90% of Maine’s biosolids end up in landfills—an expensive, unsustainable solution.
Introduce 30+ full-time employment opportunities, plus hundreds of construction jobs.
Position Maine a leader in sustainable biosolid management.
Be located near the Sanford Wastewater Treatment Plant, reducing truck transportation emissions.
Destroy chemicals of concern in biosolids thereby preventing them from entering nearby waterways and soil.
Offer a reliable, long-term alternative to landfilling, incinerating, or land applying biosolids.
