LoCI Controls, Inc. is an environmental services data and technology company. LoCI Controls develops software and devices that utilize a wireless sensor network to optimize the extraction of methane from landfills.
Background
[edit]The company was founded by two MIT graduate students, Andrew Campanella and Melinda Sims (née Hale) in 2013. LoCI Controls received a grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center in the amount of $40,000 USD in January 2014 as a partial section of its Catalyst Program.[1] The program invests in new researchers and companies.[2]
Technology & Impact
[edit]LoCI's system is designed to increase methane gas extraction from landfills. The software and hardware provide remote monitoring and control, versus historical practices, which require twice-monthly on-site monitoring and manual adjustments to extract the methane.
External Write-Ups
