PlascoEnergy Delivers Power To Hydro Ottawa Grid
October 24, 2007 – Plasco Energy Group Inc. ("PlascoEnergy") delivered electricity to Hydro Ottawa yesterday, generated by an engine fueled with PlascoEnergy syngas. "This is a very important milestone in bringing the PlascoEnergy facility into full operation," Rod Bryden, President and CEO said. "This demonstrates PlascoEnergy’s unique ability to convert waste into gas that runs internal combustion engines. During the next several days we will bring each of the five engines into operation using a mix of waste materials. We will then implement final system checks and adjustments before receiving household garbage in November."
