Canada-based Nexterra Systems Corp, supplier of advanced biomass gasification systems, has received USD7.7 million in funding from the BC Bioenergy Network (BCBN), Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), the National Research Council Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP), and Ethanol BC.
This funding is to support Nexterra's recently announced programme to commercialise a new high efficiency biomass power system in collaboration with GE Jenbacher and GE Energy. This advanced combined heat and power (CHP) system involves direct-firing syngas from Nexterra's biomass gasification technology into GE's Ecomagination-certified Jenbacher internal combustion engines.
Pilot testing of the new CHP system will begin on schedule before the end of 2009. A first commercial demonstration project is expected to begin in early 2010.
Said Jonathan Rhone, President and CEO of Nexterra: “Building a strong domestic clean energy industry is critically important to position our economy for recovery and to capitalise on rapidly growing clean energy markets worldwide. We look forward for continued collaboration with our funding partners to ensure Nexterra's energy solutions meet the highest standards for biomass heat and power applications.”
