The Masarang Foundation Integrated a PP10 Power Pallet into their sustainable Village Hub system for palm sugar harvesting on the Island of Suliwesi in Indonesia. This pilot project is located next to a palm sugar factory which uses waste geothermal heat from a 35 MW geothermal plant to dry and prepare palm sugar. This sugar is prepared from the sap of the Arenga Palm which can be processed into sugar and ethanol. The Arenga palm can grow on poor soils, allowing deforested areas to be reforested, acting as a nurse tree to re-introduce more diverse species. The Village Hub concept is to…...

GreenBiz held their annual Verge Climate Tech Event at the San Jose Convention Center. APL has been presenting its equipment at the Verge Expo for the past ten years. We have previously provided the baseload power for their microgrid, but this year we presented our newest product, the CharPallet CP 25. We have been shifting our focus to the carbon sequestration end of our climate mitigation work, which has always been the core mission of APL. Gasifying waste biomass draws down atmospheric CO2, converting much of it into a stable carbon matrix in biochar. Sequestering this carbon in the soil…...

Genia Global Energy, a sustainable energy company located in Valencia Spain, has added a PP30 to their Smart Hybrid Microgrid project site in Honduras. The project's goal is to solve the trilemma of food, water and energy poverty in a rural Honduran community. Genia Energy Solutions uses their experience and technical, human, and material resources in the comprehensive development of renewable energy projects for the implementation of sustainable products and solutions.  They selected a PP30 to be installed at Puerto Castillio in Honduras as a base load component of their microgrid which includes a large 60 kW solar array and…...

A PP30 was added to Regenitech's regenerative agricultural facility in NW Montana. They will be testing the Power Pallet inside one of the greenhouses at their Earth Power Lodge (EPL) location. The biochar it produces will be used for the production of their soil regenerating biostimulants. It is being added to their extensive EPL biorefinery system as another of the integrated components furthering their development of modern sustainable agricultural practices and products. They anticipate the PP30 becoming a part of an integrated regenerative agricultural system able to be deployed at other small farms and homes....

The Masarang Foundation is committed to finding solutions for the most urgent global problems of our time: deforestation, biodiversity loss, climate change, poverty, and underdevelopment. They have been an early adopter of APL technology which they have deployed to sites where power is needed to support their biodiversity activities. Two PP20s were recently commissioned in Indonesia where they will be using biomass waste from their reforestation projects as feedstock for the units. ...

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....

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…...

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…...

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....

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...
