99th largest plant in Nebraska · 9135th nationally
Missouri River Wastewater Treatment is a biomass power plant in Nebraska with a nameplate capacity of 3.0 MW. It generates roughly 12.6k MWh per year — enough to power about 1,197 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 48% puts it in the middle range — running steadily but not full-time. At 117 lb CO₂/MWh, its emission rate sits below the national grid average of roughly 800 lb/MWh.

Biomass plants burn wood, agricultural waste, or methane from landfills to generate steam and electricity. They are considered carbon-neutral over long timescales when fuel is sustainably sourced, but they produce particulate emissions similar to coal.
