Biomass energy hybrid technology awarded patent

Power Engineering

NTE Energy was issued a patent by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office for its biomass hybrid technology on April 24.

The technology is designed to integrate biomass and conventional steam electric generating technologies into a single hybrid renewable energy power plant by allowing simultaneous operation of a biomass energy cycle along with a traditional plant. NTE Energy plans to use the technology in the development, construction and operation of new hybrid renewable energy power plants throughout the U.S., including projects under development in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. As an alternative, NTE will license the technology to other parties, including independently owned hybrid renewable energy projects.
