About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
GM's Fort Wayne Assembly plant in Indiana implemented a combined heat and power system that recovers waste heat from on-site landfill gas-powered generators to replace a natural gas-fired steam system for comfort heating and freeze protection. This reduced natural gas use and site carbon emissions by 30% versus 2019 baseline while saving $3.5 million annually. Evidence: "General Motors’ assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, cut carbon emissions by 30%, against a 2019 baseline year. The process involved eliminating steam usage for comfort heating and freeze protection by swapping a natural gas-fired steam system for a combined heat and power system, which uses heat exchangers to recover waste from pre-existing landfill gas-powered generators on-site." — https://www.facilitiesdive.com/news/gm-fort-wayne-plant-energy-emissions-natural-gas-use-by-doe/724358/
