Markets

Being scalable from a tiny couple to a huge generator means that there are a wide range of potential markets for us to explore. Although the current focus is portable power and industrial waste heat recovery, we're always happy to explore other areas.

We have identified numerous unfulfilled market needs for energy conversion, where current technologies have been unable to provide commercially viable solutions.

In essence, MicroPower provides a disruptive technology that greatly expands the capabilities of thermoelectrics by delivering efficiencies and cost-effectiveness that haven’t been possible previously, and creating entirely new market applications, from portable power solutions for troops in the field and others without access to grid power, to improving the efficiency of industrial plants.

At the same time, we believe it’s a particularly opportune moment to be introducing our technology given widespread concern about global warming caused by increasing amounts of carbon and other toxic emissions and the earth’s decreasing capacity to absorb them.

Whether or not such sentiments are justified, the fact remains that the search for cleaner, more dependable, more efficient forms of energy is gaining momentum.

While renewable forms of energy production will hopefully provide a long-term solution, they remain decades away from becoming our main source of energy, meaning that our reliance on fossil fuels looks set to continue for the foreseeable future. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could find a way to stretch those limited resources a little longer by making their use more efficient?

Indeed, various incentives are emerging globally to encourage industry to become cleaner and more energy efficient, all of which help create a more receptive environment for our technology.

On top of that, MicroPower’s technology is also able to thrive upon new heat sources and processes designed for the future, such as solar-thermal energy, pyrolysis, fuel cells and LENR technologies.
