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….
CICY, Yucatan, Mexico – December 2017
The Center for Scientific Research of Yucatán (CICY) has installed a PP20 Power Pallet at the campus in Merida, Yucatan. CICY is a public Research Center of the CONACYT (Mexican National Council of Science and Technology) focused on conducting basic and applied research to develop and transfer technology that promotes the development of a society in harmony with the environment. CICY has a strong focus on climate change due to the Yucatan’s extensive forests and abundant resources that can be used for bioenergy, such as wastes from the agri-food industry. Part of the CICY’s mission is to become a key……
Rwanda Girls School, Gashora, Rwanda – December 2017
Vincent Igboeli installing PP20 at Gashora In 2009, the Rwanda Girls Initiative opened Gashora Girls Academy of Science and Technology (GGAST) – an upper-secondary girls’ boarding school located in Bugesera District an hour south of the capital city of Kigali. GGAST welcomed its first class of 90 girls in February, 2011. Tapping into APL’s long-established relationships in Africa, especially with the Booker Washington Institute in Liberia, APL placed a PP20 at the Gashora campus. The school has an active agricultural program, operating a successful 14-acre farm on campus where they hope to perfect techniques for running the locally plentiful macadamia……
National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore – July 2017
The National University of Singapore (NUS) installed a PP20 to contribute to research on bioenergy and gasification. NUS began over 100 years ago as a small medical school, today, it is Singapore’s flagship university. A world-class research institution, teams at NUS are working in the same areas of interest as APL, studying gasification technologies and the acronomic uses and benefits of Biochar. We hope that having access to our machine helps them make breakthroughs in this important research space….
Songhai Center, Benin, West Africa – November 2016
APL recently delivered the first of its PP20s to the Songhai Center in Benin. From the Songhai website: “The Centre Songhai is principally involved in agricultural training, research, and production for sustainable livelihood in Africa. Founded… in 1985, the Center has been managed by Africans since then. The Center’s aim is to create the conditions for improving the lives of Africans, the great majority of whom live in rural areas.” “Centre Songhai is a world leader in innovative development programs, including integrated farming, biomass gasification, microenterprise and IT for rural communities. Father Nzamujo, the 1993 Africa Prize Laureate, is a……

Green to Energy (G2E) is a renewable energy company located in the colonia of Santa Catarina, in the Coyoacán borough of Mexico City. G2E specializes in biomass gasification for the energy production. They design, develop and implement projects that produce thermal, electrical and mechanical energy using waste biomass. They offer a wide range of solutions for biomass energy from 20 kWe to 2.2 MWe, using modular systems that meet international requirements. They have added one of our PP20, 20kW Power Pallets to their demonstration center for the study of technical and economic feasibility of technologies for generating thermal/electrical energy. The first of its kind in Mexico, and supported by the……
Biodico, Five Points, California – August 2015
Biodico is a sustainable bio-refinery operator located in Santa Barbara, California. Committed to sustainability and R&D they have partnered with Redrock ranch in the center of California’s San Joaquin Valley. Redrock sits among the state’s extensive almond and nut orchards on the most productive agricultural land in the USA. Implementing and studying a wide range of alternative energy solutions, and with the assistance of California Energy Commission grants, Biodico has partnered with Redrock Ranch and APL to install a PP20 Power Pallet with an early prototype version of our combined heat and power (CHP) option. This project was the result……
Hybridnet Project, Terni, Italy – August 2015
Massimo Ceroni and Paolo Massarelli lead the team of young engineers who are building a microgrid and alternative energy training center in Italy to help North and Central African refugees learn about sustainable development. Hybridnet plans to leverage European funding to successfully equip these men and women with skills that they can take back to the home countries and deploy. The goal is to help them develop economically and enviornmentally sustainable local enterprise that will allow them to make a living even as they provide an environmentally friendly useful service to their communities. This microgrid integrates our biomass generators with……
El Jardín Botánico, Bogotá, Colombia – June 2015
Two PP20 biomass gasifier-gensets from ALL Power Labs were purchased by system Integrator, Tetra Tech, with the help of a USAID grant, and installed in the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden of Bogotá. Located in the capital, it is Colombia’s largest botanical garden and serves both as a recreation and research center. Our biomass gensets are part of a program to create a sophisticated demonstration site featuring multiple forms of renewable power generation integrated into a micro-grid, including solar arrays and energy storage. The Garden is a municipally owned park has an emphasis on Andean and Páramo ecosystems, featuring plants……
