WorldWater & Power Corp. (OTCBB:WWAT.OB) is breaking ground this week on its largest project to date, the $7.8 million Farm ACW avocado ranch project in Fallbrook, CA. Construction for the system, approximating one megawatt in size, is anticipated to be substantially completed before the end of this year. Farm ACW is a leading avocado grower with over 50,000 trees, which will likely become the largest farming operation in the world to be powered by solar energy. “All financing and permitting matters have finally been resolved after a year spent on several complex permit issues specific to this project,” said Quentin T. Kelly, Chairman of WorldWater & Power. “The rebate has also been approved by the San Diego Renewable Energy Office, and WorldWater has already begun receiving payment from the client for its services.

MTI Micro Delivers on Energy Density Milestone

MTI MicroFuel Cells Inc. has achieved an energy density of over 1.3Wh per cc of fuel on a 30 Watt Mobion laboratory test unit. This achievement represents more than a 30% increase in fuel efficiency and is an important technical milestone as MTI Micro moves forward in developing Mobion products for a range of applications targeted for the military market. “Achieving both fuel efficiency and power together in the same lab unit is key to making lighter and smaller products with longer run-times than batteries,” said Russel Marvin, Chief Operating Officer of MTI Micro. “This is an important step in our DMFC development efforts.” For the military markets, MTI Micro is focusing its proprietary Mobion technology along two separate platforms — a 30 Watt high power platform, and a 1 Watt low power platform — both targeting key portable applications used in day-to-day military operations. “We recognize what our military customers need — a rugged, light, compact, power-pack that can work in most operational environments, and run longer than batteries,” said Juan Becerra, Vice President of Market and Business Development for MTI Micro. “We are focused on developing products that can meet those requirements and improve the mobility, and effectiveness […]
