BWI’s Renewable Energy Center in Kakata, Liberia is doing daily runs of three PP20’s to supply a large portion of their campus with power. Planning to begin a commercial mini grid project, BWI REC hopes to begin selling power at affordable rates to a even larger service area adjacent to the campus, and hopes to become self sustaining. Too remote to be included in the unreliable national power grid, BWI has had to use expensive diesel power in their attempt to reboot their institution after its devastation during the recent civil wars.
Green Island is a village island located about 14 kilometers off the coast of Roxas, Palawan.  It is a small flat island with an area of only about an eighth of a square kilometer with an estimated population of 375.  The main source of livelihood is fishing and seaweed farming.  Due to the island’s remote location, potable water is shipped form the mainland by boat, and electricity has been supplied by  25 kVa diesel generator which only serves some parts of the island intermittently, depending on the supply of costly diesel

Located in the Yantian District, International Creative Harbor, in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, GEE are using their Power Pallet to develop sustainable waste management solutions. They focus on research and development on the processing of municipal solid waste (MSW) especially its conversion into useful power. MSW incineration as an a energy and waste management solution is growing very rapidly in Chinese at pace with their booming economy. Efforts by the Chinese government to meet GHG
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.
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.

 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.”
