Liberty Energy Centre will produce 13 MW of electrical power, of which 4 MW will be used for internal station load, with the net 9 MW for delivery to the local power grid. The facility will use biosolids as fuel.

In addition to the financial advantages of renewable power generation, LEC is greenhouse gas beneficial, and reduces the carbon footprint of biosolids management. Each tonne of biosolids directed to Liberty Energy will typically result in a reduction of 170 kilograms of carbon dioxide or more taking into account the transportation component.

Liberty Energy is enrolled in the Feed-In-Tariff program for the production and sale of renewable energy. Liberty Energy Centre will reduce the carbon footprint of biosolids management while producing 9 MW net of renewable energy for export to the grid. Liberty has gone to great lengths to achieve energy efficiency in its design. An individual’s daily flushes directed to Liberty Energy will generate enough electricity to power a 13-watt compact fluorescent bulb for 3 hours and 16 minutes.

The LEC facility features two state-of-the-art fluidized bed units providing enhanced reliability and improved emissions control technologies, ensuring emissions are far below required provincial standards. LEC meets stringent environmental standards, and has received a pro-forma letter of opinion that the facility will be eligible for EcoLogo certification once operational. The EcoLogo certification is reserved for facilities with very low emissions per unit of electricity generated. Improved emissions control technologies are fundamental to LEC's design in addition to energy efficiency, and its advanced air pollution controls and equipment ensure emissions are far below allowable standards while recovering significant amounts of energy from biosolids.
