Davis, California-based renewable energy company Sierra Energy opened auctions April 13, 2016, for the exclusive rights to develop and distribute its FastOx gasifiers in the Wyoming counties of Laramie and Albany.
The company says it is targeting Wyoming's most wasteful counties, striving to eliminate the state's landfills through advanced molecular recycling. The technology, designed to convert trash into electricity and fuel is available at Techpipe.com.
"Wyoming could build a 6.5 foot wall around the state from the trash generated by its residents," says Mike G. Hart, CEO of Sierra Energy.
According to Sierra Energy, the lion's share of Wyoming's trash comes from its two most populated regions, Laramie and Albany counties.
"If we take the waste generated in Wyoming and instead convert it to renewable energy, FastOx gasifiers could power all of the homes in Cheyenne," Hart continues.
The FastOx technology is being positioned as a landfill alternative. FastOx gasification offers a cleaner and sustainable solution to managing Wyoming's waste, the company says.
The molecular reaction between carbon in waste and oxygen injected by FastOx gasifiers is designed to break down waste into an energy-dense fuel, without burning. Sierra Energy describes the FastOx gasifier as a versatile product that can then be used to power homes and fuel cars and adds,by recycling at the molecular level, nothing goes to waste.
"We want to empower local communities and businesses to take control of their waste in a way that benefits our towns and respects our planet," says Hart. "We have already spoken to hundreds of people internationally, but first we want to bring FastOx gasification to all 50 states, starting with Wyoming."
Licensing auctions are now open in Laramie and Albany counties for a limited time on licensing platform Techpipe.com.
