CalBio expands linear generator capacity with Mainspring Energy

California Bioenergy (CalBio) is expanding its distributed generation capacity through a supply agreement with Mainspring Energy. CalBio will install eight additional Mainspring Linear Generators at two of its dairy cluster biogas sites in California, increasing its total deployed capacity to 5.3 MW across five locations by the end of 2026. This expansion leverages Mainspring's fuel-flexible linear generator technology, utilizing biogas produced from dairy operations to generate electricity. This agreement signifies CalBio's continued investment in biogas-based power generation and its commitment to utilizing renewable energy sources. The deployment of Mainspring's technology allows CalBio to enhance its on-site power generation capabilities, potentially reducing reliance on the grid and improving energy resilience. While the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, the expansion to 5.3 MW demonstrates a significant commitment to this technology and a growing trend towards distributed generation solutions within the agricultural sector.
