Mountain Engineering offers GHG footprinting services for the Power Generation and Transmission Sector

Lakehead, CA, Nov 17, ‘08- Mountain Engineering, a company based in Lakehead, California, and specializing in engineering services for the Power Generation and Transmission sector, including Utilities, is pleased to offer extended services for facilities needing to evaluate their annual greenhouse gas footprints. In doing so, Mountain Engineering leverages its extensive years of experience in the operation and maintenance of power generation facilities. It supports advanced computation and recordkeeping requirements through EMSPRO(TM), for which Mountain Engineering is a distributor, through licensing arrangements with industry partner Papros Inc.

EMSPRO(TM) is a highly in-depth program that tracks the entire footprint of a facility or organization or entity. It is a highly scalable program in that it can be used by the largest of organizations or by governments, yet it can also be used by small entities. This is because it maintains only as much data as needed. For facilities generating energy it can tract annual, daily or hourly greenhouse, gas emissions for any type of source. Unique fuel codes allow users to personalize emission factors based on tested heating values or carbon content or use default emission factors. The program also helps track multimedia waste streams including hazardous wastes, if needed. Safety procedures and inspections and audits are also covered.

Recognizing that each facility has unique requirements because of the combination of existing equipment, monitoring devices and data gathering ability, Mountain Engineering is able to offer unique solutions to each facility by uniquely matching the data input types and recordkeeping requirements with verifiable calculations and procedures in an easy-to-use and robust manner. In addition, the experience of Mountain Engineering in Cogeneration plants enables it to offer specialized assistance to facilities to optimize combined cycle efficiencies to suit the needs at each specific facility. Additionally, services are offered in optimally using the most appropriate computational procedure that, once chosen, must be used as a baseline for future years. Mountain Engineering solutions thus offer adaptability, economy and scalability in size and performance.

Mountain Engineering is an organization that has focused on the renewable energy sector by looking at all phases of the industry and executing those aspects into individual projects. A few key components are permitting, compliance, power purchase agreements, and transmission studies. Mountain Engineering has managed and implemented a number of these components into a multitude of renewable energy companies. A key component in any of today’s industry is the carbon footprint associated with the company. Mountain Engineering and Papros Inc have joined resources to develop solutions to track companies’ carbon footprints.
