Mayor Bloomberg Announces Request for Proposals to Build State of the Art Conversion Facility to Convert Waste to Clean Energy

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today announced the release of a Request for Proposals to build a state of the art facility to convert waste to clean energy as part of PlaNYC, the city’s ambitious sustainability agenda.

The Request for Proposals asks private sector firms to submit plans for a pilot facility using reliable, cost-effective, sustainable and environmentally sound waste to clean energy technology, which will help the City meet its goal of doubling the amount of waste diverted from landfills, as Mayor Bloomberg committed to doing in January’s State of the City speech.
