Onsite Field-Feeding Waste to Energy Converter

Community Power Corporation (CPC) and its team members will research the potential of using field-feeding waste to provide on-site power for a variety of applications. The team will begin by developing an in-depth understanding of the Army's field-feeding process and the requirements for a military-grade waste to energy converter. We will then perform a detailed assessment of the biomass resource, select candidate fuel(s), and use this resource as part of a proof-of-principle test to be conducted at CPC's facilities. CPC will apply its substantial experience in the research, development and deployment of first-of-a-kind small modular biopower systems to the referenced test in which we will convert field-feeding waste to electricity and heat in a small downdraft gasifier. Using either equipment from the Army, or similar systems, we will also demonstrate the ability to power certain applications. We will use the experience gained in Phase I to guide the development and testing of a prototype waste to energy converter in Phase II. An optional Phase I program is also provided to develop a preliminary design of an On-Site Waste to Energy Converter.
