SunOpta Inc. (NASDAQ:STKL; TSX:SOY) has signed a Joint Development Agreement with Royal Nedalco, based in the Netherlands, one of the largest ethanol suppliers in Europe. Under this agreement, SunOpta will license Nedalco’s patented pentose fermenting yeast for the production of cellulosic ethanol in North America and will work with Nedalco to include SunOpta’s technology and systems for cellulosic ethanol production into their planned new grain ethanol facilities in Europe. Nedalco, a subsidiary company of the Dutch sugar producer Cosun, has been producing ethanol in Europe for over 100 years and is a leader in ethanol fermentation technology. A consortium including Nedalco, Delft University of Technology and BIRD Engineering, all located in the Netherlands, have developed a patented and novel pentose fermenting yeast that is capable of high conversions of pentose sugars into cellulosic ethanol. Nedalco is adding ethanol capacity in the Netherlands and the U.K. including a 200 million litre grain ethanol plant that will produce road fuel. Nedalco plans to use their pentose fermenting yeast in this new facility. According to the company, a significant challenge in producing cellulosic ethanol is the ability to ferment both hexose sugars (glucose) and pentose sugars (xylose), since pentose sugars can represent up […]
UQM Technologies, Inc. (Amex: UQM), a developer of alternative energy technologies, has received an order from Phoenix Motorcars, Inc. of Ojai, California for a UQM PowerPhase 100 propulsion system. The system is being evaluated for use in a freeway-speed all electric pickup truck program currently being developed for the fleet market by Phoenix. The UQM PowerPhase 100 propulsion system delivers 550 Newton meters of torque and 100 Kilowatts of peak power in a lightweight, compact and energy efficient package that is ideally suited for battery electric vehicles where the system’s high energy efficiency can improve vehicle range. “The integration of an optimized electric drivetrain from UQM Technologies with nano-lithium battery technology from Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALTI) could provide the impetus to rejuvenate and realize the promise of the electric vehicle vision,” commented Daniel Riegert, Chairman of Phoenix Motorcars. “We are preparing for the manufacture and distribution of several thousand vehicles over the next few years.” “We are excited that Phoenix Motorcars is evaluating our PowerPhase 100 propulsion system for use in their all electric pickup truck program,” said William G. Rankin, UQM Technologies’ President and CEO. “We expect that the pairing of our propulsion system with Altairnano’s nano-lithium batteries […]
Millennium Cell Inc. (NASDAQ: MCEL) has been awarded a $730,000 Phase II Small Business Innovation Research Program (“SBIR”) contract by the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (“TACOM”). Under this two year program, the Company and its subcontractor ReliOn, a Spokane, WA based fuel cell manufacturer, will develop a fully modular 500 watt power system with the ability to use available field water with a variety of impurities. The power system will combine Millennium Cell’s Hydrogen on Demand technology and ReliOn’s Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell to create a 500 watt hydrogen battery. The completed system will be evaluated by Selfridge Air National Guard Base and have the capability to support a number of military uses including silent watch power, Improvised Explosive Device (IED) countermeasure systems, battery charging, and critical backup power for telecom as well as communications equipment for air traffic control. The Company will explore potential commercial applications for the modular hydrogen storage system as well. The standardized 500 watt hydrogen storage modules will be designed to run in parallel or in series with a modular fuel cell to reach power ranges of up to 5kW and can provide for extended run times for applications as needed […]
