Mormair's generators use Chemical Looping Combustion to produce clean energy and heat from biofuels, capturing CO2, advancing sustainable power and waste recovery
About
Mormair has a unique energy transition solution that generates energy with no emissions regardless of fuel source. When using biofuels, it captures carbon.
Instead of using an internal combustion engine, run on a chemical process called Chemical Looping Combustion to generate energy.
- Process takes place at ultra-high temperatures, thus uses nearly any feedstock (e.g. fossil fuels, biofuels, secondary derived waste) whether solid, liquid, and gaseous
- Modular, mobile units (40-ft shipping containers) which can be scaled and distributed
- No grid or water supply required
- Low CAPEX, OPEX, and fuel costs
Key Benefits
Every 1 MW of generating capacity captures 7,500 tonnes of atmospheric CO2 per year.
We sell the energy. We place our units on-site at our customers facilities and become their energy supplier.
We can sell heat, which increases efficiencies
Access to customers’ grid connections; we sell excess energy to the grid at wholesale prices
Applications
Our beachhead is the Foundation Industries Sustainability Consortium (FISC), a collection of government-backed research and technology organizations. These are innovation arms of global manufacturing for sectors aiming to decarbonize but requiring reliable, large, variable energy requirements. By being on-site at their premises, we can supply the required heat and power while selling excess power to the grid (we work with EDF on offtaker arrangements). These organizations have access to large memberships and are partnering with us in SPVs to sell energy to their members using our equipment (essentially, we're franchising our business and they're taking it to their members).
We have secured two Innovate UK grants including the Materials Processing Institute (MPI). Our technology will be on-site at MPI for testing in an industrial/real-world environment. They are then interested in purchasing up to 53MW from us. They then want to sell our energy to their global membership. We intend to do the same with the other FISC members.
