From Waste Heat to Clean Power
A leading-efficiency thermoelectric platform – converting industrial waste heat to electricity at roughly 3× the efficiency of standard commercial thermoelectric modules.
Power Generation
Convert waste heat across a design envelope of 300–1000°C+ into clean electricity. Current lab- and field-proven continuous operation: 440–550°C (Gerdau, 2,500+ hours). No moving parts in the conversion module, with materially lower maintenance than rotating-machine recovery systems and a target service life on par with multi-decade space-application TEGs.
Precision Cooling
Solid-state cooling with zero vibration, no refrigerants, and fine-grained thermal control – an emerging partner-led opportunity, of research interest in biomanufacturing and data-centre environments.
Dual-Mode Platform
The underlying thermoelectric architecture is reversible. Productised power-generation and precision-cooling systems require different materials, packaging and integration designs; power generation is the validated commercial line, with cooling in earlier-stage development.
Near-Term Commercial Focus
Industrial Waste Heat
Steel, cement, glass and heavy industry lose the majority of their primary energy as heat. MicroPower's PowerBlock is designed to recover that energy at temperatures where conventional ORC systems are uneconomic, with validated performance from more than 2,500 hours of field operation at a Gerdau steel facility.

A large installed base of European biogas plants loses a substantial share of fuel energy as exhaust heat at temperatures well suited to thermoelectric recovery. Many are too small for conventional turbines to be economic – the gap MicroPower's PowerRing form factor was designed to address.
Learn MoreWhere Industrial Waste Heat Is Waiting to Be Captured
A large share of primary industrial energy is wasted as heat. Steel mills, cement plants, biogas facilities, data centres – all generating enormous amounts of recoverable thermal energy. MicroPower's patented technology is built to turn that waste into clean electricity.
Industrial Waste Heat
Steel, cement, glass and petrochemicals lose most of their primary energy as heat. PowerBlock recovers it at temperatures where ORC systems are uneconomic.
Bioenergy & Biogas
European biogas plants discard a large share of their fuel energy as exhaust. PowerRing is sized for sites where conventional turbines aren't economic.
AI Datacentres
Behind-the-meter generators throw off high-grade exhaust heat. Solid-state recovery puts incremental watts back into the site without adding moving parts.
Thermal Energy Storage
Thermal batteries discharge a long heat tail at 500–800°C. Thermoelectric extracts incremental electricity from energy that would otherwise be rejected.
