US state of Michigan rewards N-Viro with grant funding following renewable fuel test

17 December 2009

The Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth has awarded a grant reward to Environmental and materials operating company N-Viro International, for the feasibility test of N-Viro Fuel at a Michigan-based utility.

Under the provisions of the grant, the Michigan-based utility will test the feasibility of the biomass fuel N-Viro fuel. The test is scheduled for early 2010 and the permits for the test have already been issued by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.

N-Viro International owns patented technologies to convert various types of waste into beneficial reuse products including the renewable biofuel N-Viro Fuel and N-Viro Soil.

The test will be conducted to determine the feasibility of the company’s fuel and its performance within the boiler and the expected positive impact on emissions. N-Virosaid that it has already executed a letter of intent with the utility outlining the scope of the test, and anticipates a long-term agreement after the test is performed.

Timothy Kasmoch, CEO and president of N-Viro, said, ‘We are delighted by the support from the State of Michigan and we expect to deliver favorable results from the test. Given the successful N-Viro Fuel demonstration at Michigan State University in 2007, we expect this test to be successful as well.’

N-Viro International is an environmental and materials operating company that owns patented technologies to convert various types of waste into beneficial alternative fuel products. Its renewable biofuel technology, N-Viro Fuel has received alternative energy status from the US Environmental Protection Agency, which qualifies the technology for renewable energy incentives. N-Viro operates processing facilities independently as well as in partnership with municipalities.
