Global Social Venture Competition
A Johnson team won the SROI category in the 2004 Global Social Venture Competition. Congratulations! Here's the concept:
Distributed Generation Technologies (DGT) is focused on commercializing innovative energy technologies for distributed generation. The company is commercializing a new anaerobic digestion reactor, developed at Cornell University, which converts organic waste into highly pure and compressed biogas (i.e., methane fuel) without additional equipment or energy input.
The resulting biogas can be utilized as a transportation fuel (compressed natural gas) and/or paired with a fuel cell or other device for stationary generation. The company expects to commercialize larger-scale equipment in the wastewater, agriculture, and food processing markets initially, while working toward mass market “appliances” for residential applications in developed and developing economies.
Mom, dad, you might want to look at their ppt. Interesting stuff.
