Ecostage, Tokyo, Japan – September 2019
APL provided a PP30 to the Ecostage, a renewable-energy development firm in Tokyo. Ecostage believes the earth where we live is irreplaceable, and that they have an obligation to contribute to the global environment as a responsibility to future generations. They are using the PP30 they have installed at their Anan City location to demonstrate the practicality and importance of biomass-energy to their customers. Ecostage and APL are working together to tie their Power Pallet into their local utility grid, a process that can be complex and difficult due to the variety of standards and regulations in the various jurisdictions……
Sierra Resource Conservation District, Fresno County, California – June 2019
APL provided a PP20 to the Sierra Resource Conservation District (SRCD), the entity responsible for managing and protecting more than 3000 square miles of forest and foothills in the Sierra Nevada and Central Valley. SRCD operates the gasifier in wooded areas that have experienced wildland fire and insect infestations to demonstrate the PP20’s capacity to reduce forest fuel loads and wildfire risk while sequestering carbon and generating on-demand electricity. These activities are part of SRCD’s recently launched Carbon Management Program that aims to understand and manage the carbon cycle for both ecological and economic benefit. APL and SRDC were awarded……
Skysource, Malibu, California USA – January 2019
As Part of our partnership with the Skysource/Skywater Alliance, the prototype WEDEW Atmospheric Water Distiller, powered by a PP30, was installed at David Hertz and Laura Doss-Hertz’s ranch in Malibu, California. Ongoing development, following our winning of the Water Abundance XPrize, is aimed at producing portable units able to be deployed at disaster sites worldwide. Additional Details and images coming soon…
DeNova, Frederiksværk, Denmark – June 2018
This PP20 was purchased by DeNova, a waste recycling and reuse yard at the port of Frederiksværk, about 50 km northwest of the capital city of Copenhagen. They see it as a challenge to find value in what others may think is just trash, using modern techniques to sort waste into fractions that can be recycled or reused. One way they hope to reuse biomass waste is by gasifying it. They plan to use their PP20 to explore how our efficient CHP systems can best fit into their mission to mine potential resources from the waste stream, trying to save……
The University Of Guyana, Turkeyen Campus, Greater Georgetown, Guyana – June 2018
The University of Guyana installed a PP30 to use for research in their Forestry and Agricultural schools on their Turkeyen Campus in Greater Georgetown. Additional Details and images coming soon…
University of Chester, Chester, England, UK – May 2018
The Chemical Engineering department of the University of Chester in the UK installed a PP20 so that Professor John Brammer and his associates can study the details of the highly efficient thermal conversion in our GEK gasifier. The University of Chester is a public university with five campuses in the city of Chester, about 35 km south of Liverpool in northwest England. Professor Brammer has a Ph.D. in the production of energy from biomass, and considerable industrial experience in combustion (working on gas turbines at Rolls Royce). We look forward to Dr. Brammer’s results using our technology and hope that……
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Skudai, Johor, Malaysia – May 2018

UTM is a leading innovation-driven entrepreneurial research university and the largest postgraduate research university for technology in Malaysia. It has also established a reputation for innovative education and cutting-edge research, with a vision towards the development of creative human capital and the advancement of technological innovation….
Local Carbon Network: Campaign progress
Thank you to all who have participated in the Indiegogo campaign to set the Local Carbon Network project in motion. So far we’ve raised about $25,000 in Local Carbon sponsorships, which is about 20% of the way to our goal. This is a great start, and we were pleased so many of your wrote notes back to us to affirm this new model for enabling local carbon drawdown. Now we need to get the campaign to the goal of $150,000 to fully set the Bay Area Carbon Cluster in motion. We have about a week left in the campaign, which is……
CIRAD, Montpellier, France – April 2018
CIRAD, the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development, is an organization working for the sustainable development of tropical and Mediterranean regions. We have installed a PP30 at their Montpellier campus in the south of France to advance their mission with its partners in the global South to generate and pass on new knowledge to support agricultural development….
University of Newcastle, Newcastle, Australia – March 2018
Researchers at the University of Newcastle are as committed as we at APL are to improving the process of gasification. They installed a PP20 as part of this effort. They believe innovations in this technology are not only important economically for industry, but also valuable to society’s overall quality of life, health, and environment. We look forward to the results of their studies and effort to help reduce energy poverty and address climate change….
