ElectraTherm - Alternative Energy Breakthrough – recovered energy generation
When PilmerPR has the chance to represent a truly great Green company, the feeling is terrific. Green PR is a passion for us and helping start a revolution in recovered energy power generation is a lot of fun. ElectraTherm is a startup with huge potential. Today, they are making the following announcement:
ElectraTherm, Inc. (www.electratherm.com) today announced the successful installation of its first commercial waste heat generator. The ElectraTherm Green Machine makes electricity from residual industrial heat that has, until now, gone to waste. Using patented heat and pressure recovery technology, ElectraTherm employs minimal heat (200 degrees F liquid) to generate fuel-free, emissions-free electricity at a very low cost: three to four cents per kW/hr during payback period, under a penny/kW hour thereafter. Testing of the 50kW ElectraTherm Green Machine, installed at Southern Methodist University in Dallas,
The U.S. Department of Energy reports that the available seven quadrillion Btu of waste heat sources exceeds the current production of all other U.S. renewable power sources combined. This includes hydroelectric, wood, biofuels, geothermal, wind, and solar photovoltaic. With a subsidy-free payback period of three years or less, the implications on the world stage of a modular, scalable (50-500kW output) unit making electricity from unused, accessible heat are huge.
