Biodico Inc. and LamdaGen Corp. have announced a collaboration whereby LamdaGen's nano-based Meta-Catalytic Surface technology will be integrated into Biodico's research and development programs for biomass-based diesel, combined heat and power and biochemicals. Additional LamdaGen technologies will be incorporated into Biodico's ongoing R&D programs, one of which developed the game-changing ARIES (Automated Real-time, Remote, Integrated Energy System) technology under the auspices of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Navy in 2002. Biodico is located at the National Environment Technology Test Site on Naval Base Ventura County, Calif.
“We look forward to our collaboration with LamdaGen and the potential that MCS technology brings to further develop clean energy production for both biofuels and combined heat and power,” said Biodico President and Founder Russ Teall. “The R&D currently funded by the California Energy Commission at our biorefinery at Naval Base Ventura should dovetail ideally with LamdaGen's technologies.”
“We are excited to be collaborating with Biodico in applying our MCS nanotechnology to the energy sector,” said Randy Storer, CEO and co-founder of LamdaGen. “We manufacture highly catalytic functional nanomaterials in the form of continuous metallic thin films that can be economically manufactured and tuned for specific applications relevant to bioenergy. Biodico is an ideal partner for us to move forward with.”
