Just in time for Earth Day, Thor gets a lesson in completing the organic loop at Harvest Power in Richmond where they turn food scraps and yard trimmings into clean energy and compost.

NEW YORK—April 22, 2013—Bloomberg New Energy Finance, the definitive source of insight, data and news on the transformation of the energy sector, today announced Harvest Power, Inc. as a 2013 New Energy Pioneer. The winners were recognized on stage at the sixth annual Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit in New York City.

“Harvest is creating a more sustainable future by helping communities better manage and beneficially re-use their organic waste,” said Paul Sellew, CEO of Harvest Power. “We are committed to turning today’s challenges into tomorrow’s solutions at the intersection of waste, agriculture and energy.”

Harvest Power diverts discarded organic materials – primarily yard trimmings and food scraps – from landfills and produces renewable energy and soil, mulch and natural fertilizer products through anaerobic digestion and composting.

This year’s winners represent a broad range of sectors including bioenergy, energy efficiency, digital energy, solar and water. By rewarding game-changing innovators, Bloomberg New Energy Finance hopes to highlight the speed of change in the sectors it serves.

The awards program, now in its fourth year, selects ten New Energy Pioneers each year. This year the independent panel of industry experts selected the winners from more than 200 candidates from around the world, assessing them against three criteria: innovation, demonstrated momentum and potential global scale.

Michael Liebreich, Chief Executive of Bloomberg New Energy Finance, said, “Tough times make for good entrepreneurs, and this is definitely what we are seeing in this year’s New Energy Pioneers. Once again we need to thank the judges, who had to winnow down a strong field to just ten winners. We wish them all luck in the coming years.”

Gil Forer, Ernst & Young’s Global Cleantech leader, added, “These entrepreneurs and companies represent the technology and business model innovation which will enable the transformation to a more resource efficient and low carbon economy. Congratulations to all of them.”

Other 2013 winners include Advantix Systems, BuildingIQ, d.light design, Draker, EcoNation, Ecosphere Technologies, Joule, Opower, and Whitewater Technologies.

“Gardeners want to spend the weekend up to their elbows in soil, not crunching numbers figuring out how much mulch to buy,” said Paul Sellew, CEO of Harvest Power. “Since many of us at Harvest are avid gardeners, we’re excited to improve the app and offer it to more customers. The Harvest Landscape Calculator takes the guesswork out of soil purchases, allowing users to save money and focus on the landscapes they love.”

The Harvest Landscape Calculator uses garden dimensions to calculate the volume of soil, mulch or stone needed for a landscaping project. In addition to displaying useful conversions for filling pots and hanging baskets, it also offers tips for applying compost to flower beds, gardens, lawns, turf surfaces, trees and shrubs. With a bit of whimsy, the app provides inspirational quotes to help aspiring gardeners get in the planting spirit.

EBJ and CCBJ, business research publications which provide high value strategic business intelligence to the environmental and climate change industries, have together honored more than 80 companies for revenue growth, acquisitions, innovative project designs, technology applications, new practice areas, social contributions and industry leadership in 2012.

“In an industry that has just managed to out-perform the overall economy but still presents challenges in many segments, a number of companies have achieved double-digit growth, sustained high profitability, built solid backlog, made successful forays into new practice areas or geographic markets, or developed technologies that can help build a more sustainable economy,” said Grant Ferrier, president of Environmental Business International Inc. (EBI, San Diego), publisher of EBJ and CCBJ.

Harvest Power was recognized for its leadership in creating renewable energy and nutrient-rich soils, mulches and natural fertilizers from organic materials. Specifically, EBJ and CCBJ cited the company’s three Energy Gardens in British Columbia, Ontario and Florida, which will altogether generate more than seven megawatts of renewable energy using anaerobic digestion.
