Azelio Signs MoU for 120 MWe of Installations in California

Biodico's vision is to create and enable clean biofuel production centres powered from on-site renewable resources, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, provide meaningful jobs and local economic development. The company has the know-how and understanding of the local regulatory framework and energy situation in California to navigate the regional energy market. It also has an extensive network of partners supporting this project. The California Energy Commission has pre-accepted Biodico's commercial showcase project to apply for a full grant proposal by the end of this year, representing a potential financing instrument for the project.

The California Energy Commission has pre-accepted Biodico's commercial showcase project to apply for a full grant proposal by the end of this year, representing a potential financing instrument for the project.

In the first project, Azelio's system will be used to store energy from both solar PV and wind power, and will produce electricity on demand, maximizing the renewable energy supply for the biofuel production process. When Azelio's energy storage is fully charged, electricity can be produced for 13 hours at nominal power. Hence, with this collaboration, Biodico's biofuel production projects will be enhanced by increasing their share of renewable energy supply.

Both Azelio and Biodico wish to establish and extend their business offering in California and Biodico will become a non-exclusive distributor of Azelio's technology in the region.

"We are moving at a good pace, and I am pleased to see the substantial interest in Azelio's technology manifested by a third MoU in a short period of time. At Azelio, we are particularly excited about gaining ground in the North American market. The project in California will demonstrate our solution's capabilities in storing and dispatching energy from both solar PV and wind power, allowing both Azelio and Biodico to build a valuable experience needed to deploy our solution on a larger scale", says Azelio's CEO Jonas Eklind.

"Biodico sees Azelio's system as a main part of its energy supply for its modular renewable biofuel production. The ability to provide renewable energy 24/7 is crucial at both a technical and commercial level. ­­Environmentally it is the right thing to do, and it has financial benefits at the same time", says President of Biodico Russell Teall.
