Under the terms of the agreement, Lockheed Martin will take charge of procurement, construction and management of the facility using Concord Blue’s Reformer Technology. The bioenergy facility will be located at the Hydrogen Competence Center in Herten, and when completed, the facility is expected to provide energy for 5,000 local homes and businesses.

Process to Convert Waste to Energy Concord Blue Reformer Technology takes waste and converts it to energy in a process called steam thermolysis. The process doesn’t produce any pollution, since the waste material is heated in an oxygen-free environment.

The companies have signed an agreement to develop an advanced waste conversion system to deal with environmental and climate control issues in 2013. Lockheed Martin was chosen as the exclusive manufacturer of the Concord Blue Reformer in October 2014.

Concord Blue has said that this latest project represents the sixth Concord Blue Reformer, and it stands as a testament to the quality of its waste-to-energy solution and its economic viability.

Lockheed Martin’s corporate headquarters is in Bethesda, Maryland and employs approximately 113,000 people around the world. It is one of the largest defence contractors on the planet. Lockheed recently announced that it has made a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion. It could lead to the development of compact fusion reactors within the next decade.
