Farm Power Northwest LLC
Farm Power Northwest organizes, funds, owns and operates anaerobic manure digester facilities for groups of dairies that could not support a project individually. We burn the resulting methane gas to produce electricity for sale; destroying methane also creates carbon offsets, and we provide other products and services, mainly for farmers. Farm Power has leases, purchase contracts, and manure supply agreements in place for its first facility, with others planned. www.farmpower.com
Greenwood Technologies
Recognized as the leader in renewable heating appliances, Greenwood's wood heating systems' patented designs improve combustion and thermal efficiency, which enables cleaner operation and delivers more energy to your home. That means less wood, fewer emissions, and a warmer home for each dollar spent on fuel. www.greenwoodusa.com
MicroGREEN Polymers, Inc.
MicroGREEN Polymers’ patented Ad-Air process reduces the density of plastics by up to 80%, decreasing the amount of raw material in packaging significantly, saving consumer goods packagers money and allowing foamed plastics to be recycled for the first time. http://www.microgreeninc.com/
New Earth Renewable Energy
New Earth Renewable Energy Inc. is a power-forward, sustainable green energy company that has developed an innovative renewable energy technology call Ecological Pyro-Torrefaction (EPT); creating two renewable fuels (a solid and a liquid) simultaneously from 100% non-food based, sustainably grown biomass. The two renewable fuels are E-Coal and E-Oil. www.newearth1.net
Novinium
