B&E is a privately held project development
company building on years of team members’ expertise in marketing
transportation fuels. SLV Biopro was announced earlier this year as the first
of B&E’s projects committed to using Greenbelt’s ECOsystem technology. Such
technology is based on an automated, modular, small scale sustainable energy
production system that enables local cost-effective processing of food,
beverage and cellulosic waste to be converted into commercial products such as ethanol,
protein concentrate and fertilizer.
The property, consisting of seven acres with over
10,000 ft2 of warehouse and office space, is strategically located
in the heart of San Luis Valley potato and barley processing industry and conveniently
situated within three miles of a global equipment engineering projected to be
one of the construction subcontractors. This initial location has all the
necessary site characteristics to efficiently deploy Greenbelt’s ECOsystem
model, including a space for a duckweed covered discharge pond and proximity to
specific feedstocks which would enable new high value bioproducts to be produced.
Other B&E projects currently in development will be located in eastern
Colorado and New York / Pennsylvania.
