Pentagon Exploring Tech to Convert Waste Into Energy

The Army Corps of Engineers recently awarded a Tennessee-based startup a contract on behalf of the Navy to convert the service’s waste into renewable energy.

Enexor BioEnergy’s technology can divert organic and plastic waste away from landfills and convert it into clean, on-site renewable energy, said Lee Jestings, CEO of the company.

As part of the $125,000 contract awarded in March, Enexor will demonstrate how it can convert waste streams — which can include food waste, paper, plastic and a number of other organic materials — into clean power and thermal energy.

The conversion system, known as the Bio-CHP, is modular and can easily be transported by ship, truck and cargo plane for rapid deployment, according to the company.
