The development of our products and services have been market driven based on our broad experience in renewable energy systems (biomass, solar and wind), intimate knowledge of target markets, and our positioning in both developed and developing country markets. Our products enjoy additional advantage from the relationships we’ve established with large private and public sector groups that are also significant potential customers.
At our Product Development Facility in Littleton, Colorado, we design, build, test, and deploy a range of advanced technology products that:
Generate electricity, heat and shaft power using renewable biomass energy sources
Deliver renewable product gas for research applications
Provide productive use equipment for income generating applications in rural communities
Dispense electricity to households and ensure revenue collection from customers
CPC's ongoing commercialization activities include:
BioMax®: A small modular distributed energy biomass power system based on downdraft gasifier technology that uses high bulk density fuels such as woodchips and nut shells to produce both heat and power. System options include stationary (enclosure or containerized) as well as a mobile trailer version. Systems from 5 kW to 100 kW are currently under development.
Renewable Fuel Gas Generator: A Gas Production Module that converts biomass to a clean gas for power and heat, bio-fuels research, and hydrogen generation. Depending on a number of variables, the fuel cost for the product gas measured in $/Million Btu is at least 50% less than that of non-renewable natural gas and propane. The Renewable Fuel Gas Generator is also a building block for integration with emerging distributed generation technologies such as Micro-turbines, Fuel Cells, and Thermo-electric Generators.
Fluid Bed Gasifier: Built to complement the downdraft gasifier, the fluid bed system will process low bulk density biomass fuels such as sawdust and grasses.
Micro-modular Biopower System: A scaled-down version of the BioMax®, this system is designed for off-grid residences, small villages, or on-grid residences in areas with high electricity and natural gas prices.
Biomass-fueled Burner: We have integrated our Renewable Fuel Gas Generator with a commercial natural gas/propane burner to power thermal applications such as: crop drying, space heating/cooling, ice making, and water processes (purification and desalination)
Community Productive Use Platform (C-PUP): A flexible system that converts local biomass to mechanical, electrical and thermal power for rural enterprise applications.
Fiber Processing Facility: The first application of the C-PUP to rural productive use. The facility converts waste coconut husks to geo-textiles for the soil erosion control market.
Biopower Battery Charger: A unique product that uses an advanced CPC gasifier to operate a free-piston Stirling engine generator from Stirling Technology Company
Utilimeter: A proprietary electrical energy dispenser and pre-payment system for commercial rural electrification projects
