Ener-Core Receives Purchase Order to Install Four EC-250 EcoStations at Toyon Canyon Landfill in Los Angeles.
About this update from Ener Core Inc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n Ener-Core, Inc. (OTCQB:ENCR), the world's only provider of Power \n Oxidation technology and equipment that generates clean power from \n waste and low-quality gases from a wide variety of industries, received \n a conditional purchase order worth $3.29 million to build, deliver and \n install four of its EC-250 EcoStations at the Toyon Canyon Landfill site \n within Los Angeles’ Griffith Park. The project will enable the Toyon \n Canyon Landfill to produce 1 MW of clean power for the next 10 to 15 \n years. The landfill, which closed in 1985, is no longer receiving \n municipal waste and its gas quality has reduced to levels infeasible for \n generating electricity with traditional power equipment.\n \n \n Alain Castro, CEO of Ener-Core, said, “We applaud the city of Los \n Angeles for choosing to use a clean power solution such as ours, rather \n than flaring off excess gas. Through this project, in the heart of \n Griffith Park, Ener-Core has an opportunity not only to reduce pollution \n and contribute clean power to the city of Los Angeles but also to set a \n precedent for other closed landfills globally that continue to vent or \n flare their waste gases, usually for many decades after the landfills \n are closed.\"\n \n \n Ener-Core partnered with Delos Energy, LLC to finance the re-powering of \n the landfill site. With the installation of the four EcoStations, \n Ener-Core expects to be able to convert the landfill’s waste gases into \n clean electricity for Los Angeles, while at the same time reducing \n nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions significantly in comparison to flaring. \n Delos Energy has acquired Toyon Landfill Gas Conversion, LLC, which has \n historically had the rights to the gas from the landfill and generated \n power with traditional engines. As the landfill has been closed for \n years, the gas quality has reduced, and the traditional engines were \n scheduled to be decommissioned. Ener-Core has been contracted by Toyon \n Landfill Gas Conversion, LLC over the next 12 to 18 months; first to \n restart the existing engine at the site and operate it to continue \n generating electricity, and then to re-power the site by installing \n Ener-Core’s EcoStations which are designed to operate with these low \n quality gases.\n \n \n Brian Ladin, CEO of Delos Energy, said, “Ther...
