Conventional power generation is extraordinarily inefficient. Most of the energy is wasted before it even reaches our homes and offices. About 75% of the thermal content of fuel is lost to the atmosphere, thrown away by our power plants without being used; that's the steam you can see coming out of cooling towers. These fossil fuel dinosaurs are expensive, inefficient and bad news for the environment.

Conventional power plants make electricity by burning fossil fuels such as coal. This releases heat energy which boils water to create steam. The steam drives a turbine which in turn drives a generator to create electricity. However, heat is lost at every stage of the electricity generation process.

Combined heat and power (CHP) produces electricity and heat simultaneously.

Ours works by using 95c water to run an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) electrical generator, the remaining hot water at 80c can be used for conventional heating or cooling applications. Because the ORC uses lower temperatures and pressures than traditional steam turbines the cost can be greatly reduced by using standard hot water boilers.
