Enexor wins Army Phase II Sequential grant for clean energy systems

FRANKLIN, Tennessee. (2024) – Enexor BioEnergy was selected for a Phase II xTechSBIR award from the U.S. Army, valued at approximately $1,971,761. The award supports demonstration of distributed energy systems that convert organic, biomass, and plastic waste into clean electricity and thermal energy for military installations.

Enexor will demonstrate system performance at an Army facility and test system relocatability to meet energy resiliency goals. The project seeks to advance the technology’s readiness and validate its use in challenging operational environments.

“This award represents validation of our approach and strengthens our path to broad deployment,” said Lee Jestings, CEO. “It enables demonstration in mission-critical settings and helps prove the concept for wider adoption.”

Phase II objectives include demonstrating reliability, throughput, and integration under Army operating conditions. Results will inform future scale-up opportunities across defense, commercial, and municipal deployments.

The award strengthens momentum behind modular clean energy systems and supports global waste‑to‑energy deployment.
