Who We Are
AboutMicro Grids powered by renewable energy sources are the ideal solution to bring resilient energy access to communities and businesses throughout the country. Furthermore, economic incentives such as the Investment Tax Credit, the Production Tax Credit, feed-in tariffs, net metering, and state renewable portfolio standards can successfully bring renewable energy generation online.
A Micro Grid is merely a smaller scale version of the larger electrical grid that powers our country. The electrical grid exists to supply our electricity demand, connecting electrical supply to electrical demand with the transmission and distribution system. Microgrids work in the same way, just for a smaller geographic area, like a couple of buildings or a local community. To meet the electricity demands of its users, a Micro Grid must have a generation source. Traditionally, the electricity supplied to Micro Grids has historically been from “behind the meter” fossil fuel generators – gas-powered generators, for example. However, with the rapid advancement in renewable energy technologies, today’s Microgrids are being designed to supply electricity with a combination of various renewable generation sources. When paired with versatile energy storage solutions, the combined generation sources can form an islanded system that detaches from the electrical grid. At Brevian Energy, we are committed to fighting the effects of climate change. Our mission is to bring affordable, reliable, renewable power to homes, businesses, and communities in every possible location.Â

Incentives
OurInvestment Tax Credit (ITC)
The ITC provides a federal tax credit of up to 30% of the total cost of a solar or other renewable energy project, including microgrids. The credit is available for both residential and commercial projects and can be used to offset income taxes.
Production Tax Credit (PTC)
The PTC provides a per-kilowatt-hour tax credit for the production of electricity from renewable energy sources, such as wind or hydropower. This credit can also be used to support microgrids that incorporate these types of renewable energy sources.
Net Metering
Net metering policies allow businesses and homeowners to sell excess electricity generated by their renewable energy systems, including microgrids, back to the grid at retail rates. This can help offset the cost of the microgrid investment over time.
Accelerated Depreciation
The accelerated depreciation provision allows businesses to deduct the cost of capital investments in renewable energy projects, including microgrids, over a shorter time period, which can help reduce the tax burden associated with these investments.
State-Level Incentives
Some states offer additional incentives for renewable energy and microgrid projects, such as rebates, grants, or low-interest loans. These incentives vary by state and can include specific requirements for project eligibility, such as minimum size or energy efficiency standards.
Energy Storage Tax Credit
The US federal government provides a tax credit for energy storage systems, such as batteries, which are often incorporated into microgrids to provide backup power or grid services. The credit is equal to 30% of the cost of the storage system and can be combined with other tax credits, such as the ITC.
It is important to note that these incentives and policies are subject to change, and businesses and developers should consult with local experts and government agencies to determine the most up-to-date information on available incentives and eligibility requirements.

University of San Diego
A key differentiator for fuel cells compared to other forms of alternative power is that fuel cell electricity production is constant and highly efficient, which has been true of our installation during its first year of operation. USD’s campus consumes a lot of electricity during times that the solar installation does not provide electricity and the fuel cell allows USD to further reduce its emissions with a cost-effective energy source.
Walmart
At Walmart, our goal is to be supplied by 100 percent renewable energy. To do this, we are considering a number of emerging technologies, including Bloom Energy, to ensure they work for our business, help lower costs for our customers, and reduce our impact on the environment. We hope to use our scale to help bring these technologies to market in a fast and cost effective way.

SolutionsAWE CO2 Scrubbing
AWE EXTRACTOR uses compressed air collection with multiple removable containers
âĒ The removable containers contain activated carbon which has properties where the CO2 is trapped and absorbed into activated carbon materials.
âĒ The âcleanedâ activated transportable carbon container is then available for reuse.
âĒ The extracted CO2 will qualify for carbon credits and along with the non-release applications generate added revenue that more than covers any cost of the extraction equipment and processes.
