Does anyone (engineers?) know whether the development of hydrogen vehicle refuelling stations (re Shell and Toyota recent announcements)could have any positive repercussions for PRES? I see the in-vehicle tanks are carbon fibre but what about the infrastructure? And, yes, I know it may not take off in a big way....

Greenlane Biogas Contracted by Promus Energy to Supply Biogas Upgrading Solution for Dairy FarmBurnaby, BC – Greenlane Biogas has signed a contract with Promus Energy, a project development company focusing on renewable and sustainable technologies, to provide an integrated biogas upgrading solution for a dairy farm located in Yakima County, Washington. Included in the solution is the supply of a Totara+ biogas upgrading unit and additional process equipment to deliver pipeline quality renewable natural gas (RNG).With the capacity to upgrade biogas at a rate of 1,500 SCFM, the Totara+ system will convert organic waste from a herd of 10,500 dairy cows into approximately 8,300 diesel gallon equivalents per day of pipeline grade RNG. Using an environmentally friendly process that removes impurities with water only and no chemicals, the RNG produced by the high efficiency Totara+ upgrading system has a purity > 97% methane. RNG produced at the farm will be sold to nearby transportation fleets and injected into the Williams Northwest Pipeline through a new 3.7 mile pipeline equipped with shared access points that will allow other dairies in the area to easily connect to the pipeline grid if they become RNG producers in the future."We see great potential to apply this technology and offtake model for hundreds of dairies across the country," said Gary Coppedge, CEO for Promus Energy. "Greenlane has proven technology and expertise behind its solution, having supplied biogas upgrading systems for anaerobic digester projects such as Fair Oaks Dairy in Indiana. And with the success we have had carrying out contracts with RNG buyers, we have verified this model can work."Brent Jaklin, Managing Director for Greenlane Biogas North America said: "We are excited about being selected by Promus to work with them on this project which we believe can revolutionize the agricultural industry. This project further solidifies our leadership position in the biogas upgrading space and we are optimistic about the prospect of future projects with Promus in Yakima County and beyond."Yakima County is one of the most active dairy centers in the United States and concerns about the dairies impacting water and air quality have farmers looking for ways to improve their waste management practices. In 2006, an anaerobic digester was installed at the dairy farm to convert manure from its herd to methane gas which was used for power generation. As production declined over the years, the farm partnered with Promus Energy to better utilize its organic waste by converting it into revenue generating products.

Greenlane Biogas Secures Contract with CR&R Waste & Recycling to Develop RNG to Pipeline Project in CaliforniaBurnaby, BC – Greenlane Biogas has received a contract to provide engineering services to CR&R Waste & Recycling for their biogas to renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Perris, California. Under the terms of the agreement, Greenlane's scope of work will involve detailing a design solution to enable the RNG produced at the facility to meet the stringent Rule 30 requirements for injection into California pipelines.Rule 30 is a guideline created by the state utilities specifying the pipeline gas quality RNG producers must meet in order for RNG to be received and distributed. One standard in Rule 30 that has inhibited producers from injecting their RNG into pipelines is the requirement for the RNG to have a heating value of 990 BTU/SCF.To meet the 990 BTU/SCF criteria, a higher heating value fuel such as propane, would normally need to be blended into the RNG. This practice reduces the "green" content of the RNG and it may be cost prohibitive. Lower heating value requirements for RNG, most commonly 960 BTU/SCF, have been adopted in other states making the California requirement the most rigorous in the US."We are confident that we have the right team to get our biogas compliant to California pipeline standards," said Mike Silva, Civil Engineer and Project Manager for CR&R. "We will be the first in California to produce and supply pipeline quality RNG from organics recycling. California has a statewide goal of 75 percent recycling, composting or source reduction of solid waste by 2020 and organics recycling is a major component of this mandate.""We are excited to be continuing to work with CR&R on the next phase of this project," said Brent Jaklin, Managing Director for Greenlane Biogas North America. "With our proven expertise in biogas upgrading, we offer CR&R a solution that allows their RNG to meet Rule 30 for pipeline injection. At Greenlane we are continually challenging ourselves to stay ahead of our competition and we are fortunate to have customers like CR&R that share that same motivation."Greenlane previously provided a Totara biogas upgrading system for the CR&R RNG facility which is being developed in four phases. With a capacity range of 400 to 1,250 standard cubic feet (SCF) per minute, the Totara system will initially convert biogas produced from the anaerobic digestion of 80,000 tons annually of municipal organic waste into one million gallons of diesel gallon equivalent RNG to fuel CR&R's fleet of waste collection vehicles. Subsequent phases will see the facility expand to process over 300,000 tons annually of organic waste to produce RNG for both vehicle fuel and pipeline injection.

MRF:> Agreed - taking time for the realisation to spread - Yet anoth 12 month low today - PRES will imo continue to fall until some real evidence that customers are starting to invest in new kit -

Given the increase in the sterling exchange rate - the wieakness of the EM and MINT countries, the slowdown in the Chinese and far east economies and the weakness of commodites this is (imo) still way over the horision.

on watch list but keeping well away from the buy button.

(At least not as bad as GLEN)

MRF,

I think PRES has already be mauled by the markets!

Maybe some of this will flow into pres...BP (LON:BP) appears set to invest around US$1bn into the Eastern Trough Area project, in the North Sea, which will see key infrastructure renewed until at least 2030.The oil major's decision is a boost for the North Sea in general as well as the UK government specifically as it was reportedly influenced directly by changes to the tax regime.It is anticipated that the new work programme will see new wells drilled as well as additional reservoir stimulation activities, and importantly will see upgrades to infrastructure.The investment plans, which will almost double the life of the group of oil fields, were confirmed by Trevor Garlick, the oil major's regional head for the North Sea, in an interview with industry publication Energy Voice.Garlick said that BP remains committed to improving the North Sea's competitiveness.Elsewhere Deirdre Michie, chief executive of offshore industry group Oil & Gas UK, said: "It is encouraging to see the continuing investment BP is making in its North Sea assets and projects to deliver a secure indigenous supply of energy for the country."Given the harsh business environment upstream oil and gas companies currently face, with the oil price more than halved since this time last year, industry as a whole is putting a great deal of effort into improving the performance of its assets – and that is something we'll look to explore in further detail in our 2015 Economic Report next month."

Good spot copper trader. John Hayward certainly mentioned at an AGM or perhaps Mello China being a potentially significant market for CBG. Let's hope the Research Centre doesn't just clone the technology!

Greenlane Biogas Installs Biogas Upgrading Plant at China Agricultural UniversityBurnaby, BC – Greenlane Biogas has partnered with China Agricultural University (CAU) to install a biogas upgrading system to facilitate research in the generation of renewable natural gas (RNG). The top academic institution in China for agricultural studies, CAU will use Greenlane's water scrubbing based biogas upgrading solution to test and optimize biogas yields of various agricultural organic wastes generated from a variety of anaerobic digesters.The plant is located at CAU's National RNG Demonstration Park in Zhuozhou, a city just to the south of Beijing. The plant will convert biogas to RNG at a rate of 80 cubic metres per hour. The resulting RNG is compliant with China's standards for natural gas vehicles (NGV) and is being piped to a compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station onsite to serve NGVs from neighbouring towns."We are very excited to have installed a Greenlane Biogas plant at our National RNG Demonstration Park," said Mr. Zhu Wanbin, the Deputy Professor at China Agricultural University. "Our objective is to demonstrate an effective process to manage agricultural waste by converting it into RNG and not burning it which contributes to air pollution."Added Brent Jaklin, Managing Director for Greenlane Biogas North America, "This is the first Greenlane Biogas upgrading plant in operation in China, which we see as a growing market for the biogas upgrading business. We are proud to be working with China Agricultural University to demonstrate how agricultural waste can have value as a clean source of energy."Greenlane Biogas offers upgrading systems in five standard modular units to produce RNG of the highest quality. These units can also be combined to meet greater capacity requirements. Based on an environmentally friendly process that uses water and no chemicals to remove impurities from biogas, the high efficiency upgrading system produces RNG with purity greater than 98%.
