Biodico held a kickoff meeting for its Zero Net Energy Farms project, bringing together a diverse set of highly talented institutions.
The project enables farms to generate all electrical and heating power needs from on-site , while reducing footprints, leveraging Biodico’s proprietary technology. The aim is to create an energy efficient farm by utilizing economically viable solutions, establishing a template for ranches, farms and other agricultural interests throughout California’s Central Valley and beyond.
The award was granted under California Energy Commission Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) Challenge to develop innovative and replicable approaches for accelerating the deployment of Advanced Energy Communities (AEC) located in economically disadvantaged areas.
Biodico is matching California Energy Commission funds to develop a real world conceptual design that combines cogeneration, wind turbines, anaerobic digestion and gasification at Red Rock Ranch in Five Points, Fresno County, Calif.
