Technology
REDONA works with many different companies to develop an efficient energy system. Many elements have already been designed for efficiency. These elements have to be integrated with eachother and tested as a complete energy system. These systems need to be built to work on a grid and managed by a utility to prove their efficiency for the market.
REDONA will test these technolgies and put them together on a grid to form the REDONA Energy System. The system will be connnected with the Vermont Electric Cooperative grid to be monitored and further developed. Each energy system will vary slightly, but the base electricity load is provided by a gasifier. This gasifier is a NIP (Non Incineration Process), system without the harmful emissions or byproducts that the well known incinerators of today have. The gasifier can use local sources of fuel such as wood, strawgrass, seaweed, sewage sludge and municipal solid waste. The base load of electricity can then work with solar, wind, or water depending on location of the generator. This form of decentralized, cooperative energy distribution creates the most secure grid, that is independent and locally or remotely manageable.
Once the REDONA Energy System runs efficiently on the grid, the system will be ready to be mass produced for utilties and on site generation.
