In the United Kingdom, SEaB Energy won a contract from the State of California Energy Commission to provide its waste to energy system, called FLEXIBUSTER. The project will use around 2,500kg or over 5,500 pounds, of local food waste each day to generate about 480 MWh per year. The project focuses on sustainable environmentally and economically viable waste to energy and SEaB’s technology uses biochemical conversion and anaerobic digestion to turn food waste into energy. SEaB is partnering with the University of California, Davis, to install the system at a U.S. Naval Base in Ventura County later this year, signifying its first contract and expansion to the West Coast. The food waste will come from local organizations within seven miles and the electricity will be used on the Naval base.
