Simply Better Technology
Society believes that the future relies on an energy transition. We believe the future relies on a technological transition. What is clear is that emissions are the problem, yet we need energy.
It is an inconvenient truth that wind, solar, and batteries require energy from fossil fuels paired with the internal combustion engine for extraction, delivery, manufacturing, and deployment. To solve these Scope 3 emissions, we either replace the source of energy or replace the engine.
Replacing the source of energy with renewables would be extraordinarily expensive and require far more critical raw materials than we would be able to mine using sustainable practices.
Replacing the internal combustion engine with a chemical looping combustion engine achieves the same outcome faster and at substantially less expense with minimum disruption to existing industries.
Our solution—replacing the engine rather than energy source—uses existing infrastructure, fuel sources, and industry. By not fighting the current, we can transition away from emissions quickly and affordably.
Mormaír’s technology is simply a better solution.
Our Chemical Looping Combustion Engine is what makes the E-Series unique. It is hydrocarbon agnostic and captures all waste streams, meaning there are no emissions or waste.
When using biofuels, the capturing of waste streams means capturing environmental carbon dioxide. For every megawatt of generating capacity, we capture 7,500 tonnes of CO2 per year (while offsetting a further 15,000 tonnes per year per megawatt from the energy mix). This carbon can then be stored and utilized in ways that keep it from re-entering the biosphere.
Additionally, our technology recovers strategic and critical raw materials from industrial and problematic waste. For example, by placing coal fly ash in our waste cannister, a thermo-chemical process from our engine leaches rare earth elements such as neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium.
Our generator creates zero emissions heat and power. Anything that uses an engine can use our technology: ships, trains, motor vehicles, industrial and construction machinery can all be green. We decarbonize any process that requires heat: electric arc furnaces, refining, and cement production, to name a few. Our generators can become the reliable, sustainable charging network for electric vehicles.
