Why Biofuel Energy?
As the world makes important
commitments to a future powered with
clean renewable energy, solutions utilizing
BIOFUEL will play an increasingly
important role.
Bio energy is energy derived from
harnessing the power within biofuel.
For the PPS 250, biofuel is a wide variety of
organic matter such as wood chips. The
PPS 250 can use these fuels with minimal
preparation other than chipping or
shredding.
Often lost in the conversation about
renewable energy, biofuel combined
with modern thermodynamic
technology, represents a renewable
resource that brings diversity to our
energy mix and a can play a critical role
in transitioning to a clean energy future.

Finally – Realistic, Practical Renewable Energy:
The PPS 250 Solid Biofuel Powerplant
• 280 kWe Electric (Sized for ~200 Homes or 180,000 Sq Ft of Commercial Space)
+ 2000 gph hot water or 36 Tons of Cooling + 1275 gph hot water
• Based on low cost Automotive, not Exotic Gas Turbine Hardware
• Simple, Historically Proven, Engine Construction; Remainder of Equipment is
Commercially Available
•Standardized Modular/Turnkey Installation: Simplifies Siting, Permitting &
Repositioning to Meet Community Needs
• Produce Power at 21/2 to 71/2¢ per kWe-hr Fully Loaded without Government Subsidy
• Ideal for a Wide Range of Renewable Alternative fuels:
Wood Chips, Bamboo, Refuse Derived Fuel (RFD), Livestock Manures, Miscanthus,
etc. (Pelletization not needed)
• Provides clean efficient means for Direct Combustion
of Carbon Neutral Solid Fuels and Cellulosic Biomass (without the need for a gasifier
or digester)

HOW IT WORKS
The PPS 250 Solid Biofuel
Powerplant has the Proe
Afterburningtm engine at its heart.
This engine is based on technology
that has been used commercially
for over a century but brought
into the 21st century with state-ofthe art engineering.

Customer Value
Proe Power Systems powerplants can
produce electricity cost-competitively
with the added benefit of not requiring
the tremendous capital expense
required for large scale plants and long
transmission lines. Our powerplants can
be placed near users and thus deliver
power with minimal transmission loss.
The PPS 250 has direct combustion that
eliminates the energy losses, cost and
complexity of intermediate processes
involving digestion, gasification,
liquefaction, or steam generation. It
also allows a wide range of fuels that
can deliver electricity for less than 21/2
to 71/2 US¢/kW-hr; fully loaded and
without subsidy. This makes the PPS 250
a more than competitive alternative to
other renewable energy sources and
even with conventional power produced
by coal solutions.

Breaking the Cost
Barrier
Unless subsidized,
conventional
“renewable energy”
based on wind and
solar results in
electric power cost
exceeding the
average cost of the
utility grid. We
break that cost
barrier
