EvoNexus company Biogas & Electric has been awarded $2.25 million from the California Energy Commission!
In August 2014, Biogas & Electric applied for a solicitation of funds with the California Energy Commission. Last week the company was officially awarded the impressive sum for the “installation of a lean burn biogas engine with emissions control at a wastewater treatment plant.”
In addition to being awarded $2.25 million from the California Energy Commission, Biogas & Electric has been awarded $417,000 from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and a phase 1 SBIR grant from the US Department of Agriculture. The company was admitted into our incubator in October 2012 and since that time has been located at our EvoNexus UTC office in La Jolla.
