GMs Orion Assembly Plant is Eco-Innovation Station v1
- 9 years ago
At this year’s North American International Auto Show, Chevrolet introduced the game-changing Bolt EV concept. The Bolt EV will deliver 200-miles of range at an affordable price. A pure electric vehicle, the Bolt EV has solid green credentials. And it will be built at a facility with equally high green credentials: our Orion, Michigan Assembly Plant.
Orion Assembly has been using landfill gas to heat and cool its facility for several years. We recently brought the process of generating electricity from landfill gas onsite, thereby eliminating the use of coal at the plant. Landfill gas now supplies 66 percent of the energy consumed at Orion, making it our largest user of this type of renewable energy. The facility creates enough energy from landfill gas to power 8,000 homes at any given time, and this year alone has generated 17,200 megawatt hours of electricity from landfill gas. Orion Assembly also houses a 350 kilowatt solar array, which sends clean energy back to the grid.
