Greenbelt Resources Corporation has announced that it received a new Purchase Order expanding the scope of work being performed for California-based EcoPAS to manufacture its Passive Alcohol System (PAS) – a revolutionary pollution control device that captures and transforms gaseous ethanol emissions into quality spirit products. In addition to manufacturing the full-scale PAS that will be utilized in a commercial winery later this year, Greenbelt Resources will now also manufacture the manifold system used to aggregate and deliver the exhaust gases containing the ethanol vapor stream to the PAS unit.- Growing Energy Labs, San Mateo County Community College District, and Prospect Silicon Valley, through the Bay Area Climate Collaborative program, have been awarded a $2,999,601 grant from the California Energy Commission to partner with the College of San Mateo for the “Internet of Energy” demonstration project. The College of San Mateo Internet of Energy Project project will deploy two integrated solar PV and energy storage systems that are expected to save the college $150,000 annually.
