Remember ACC? It’s now Aboriginal Ankur Corp.

I mentioned some time back that Kim Sigurdson of Aboriginal Cogeneration Corp. — the Winnipeg company that tried to establish a cogeneration plant here to dispose of waste railway ties — was now heading up a company called Aboriginal Ankur Corp.

To clarify, the new company is now marketing a different gasification technology in partnership with a company from India called Ankur Scientific Energy Technologies.

According to a press release earlier this year, the partnership will involve the transfer and sharing of technologies from both India and Canada “on advanced biomass gasification systems and innovative energy related products and services,” plus the manufacturing of gasifier components and sales and marketing of Ankur gasifiers.

Ankur Scientific, founded in 1986, has been developing and manufacturing biomass gasifiers of its own, selling all over the world, says the release.

As for Sigurdson’s newly named company, “AAC’s professionals have decades of experience in project management, engineering, sales and marketing. . . . The gasifiers we offer are proven, simple and generate extremely clean gas at reasonable price. They run on an assortment of different feedstocks that provide the customer with a reliable source of ‘green’ energy.”

It makes no mention of the gasifier technology developed at the University of North Dakota, the one ACC was going to build here.
