Plans for a proposed bio-mass energy and steam plant in Midland are moving forward as the state begins a public comment period on an air permit for Cirque Energy. The plant would supply Dow Corning Corp.’s Midland site with all of the steam and most of the energy it needs. Cirque Energy has received financial backing for the project and could be ready to break ground as soon as December, depending on when a permit is issued, said Roger Silverthorn, co-founder and chief financial officer for Cirque Energy. The Midland Power Station would use forest waste, agricultural waste and energy crops to create steam and energy. Most fuel would be sourced from within 50 to 60 miles of the plant, which would be located on Waldo Road just east of Dow Corning’s Midland site. With the power plant, Dow Corning would gain more predictable energy costs and be able to reduce the site’s greenhouse gas emissions an estimated 94 percent.
