The California Energy Commission has chosen Biodiesel Industries for providing a project grant towards supporting the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program of California.
The grant will be providing funding as well as financial assistance towards developing new, biofuel production plants that are California-based while also enhancing the operation of present plants for the purpose of increasing statewide biofuel production as well as reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
ARIES Bioenergy Project of Biodiesel Industries has been ranked among the top three from a total of 44 projects that were competing for the grant funding; the grant amount is $886,815. This project demonstrates the usage of advanced techniques for biodiesel production by using algae in an energy system that is monitoring by means of the ARIES platform.
Automated Real-time, Remote, Integrated Energy-system (ARIES) has been developed jointly with Aerojet for incorporating advanced capabilities for automation control based on the company’s experience in advanced propulsion and aerospace control systems. The features of ARIES ensure optimal production yields and reliable process control in a sustainable system, which can be widely and readily deployed.
