Renewable Energy Testing Center

The Renewable Energy Testing Center (RETC) is a unique center for the testing and validation of renewable energy technologies related to biofuels for transportation and electricity production.

RETC focuses on support of relevant and emerging renewable energy technologies, with the following focus areas:

  1. waste-to-energy
  2. waste-to-fuel
  3. biomethane production
  4. gas cleaning technologies

A major success of the program was achieved with the first two technologies tested, Pacific Renewable Fuels/REII and Red Lion Bio-Energy. In a combined effort they were awarded a $19 million DOE grant largely based on the data supplied by the RETC.

The RETC is a Department of Defense-funded project operated under contract by Technikon, Inc.
