Contained Energy
Contained Energy is developing direct carbon fuel cells (DCFC) – fuel cells that use carbon rather than hydrogen as fuel. DCFCs rely on readily available carbon fuels, generate distributed power that will be cost competitive with the grid, and realize considerable environmental benefits relative to current combustion technologies. Early products will provide breakthrough energy density for mobile applications. Contained Energy will shortly transfer its technology to Cleveland, where it will develop its products at the Wright Fuel Cell Group’s facilities.
reXorce Thermionics, Inc. develops and manufactures the Thermafficient™ thermal engine, which recovers thermal energy from a wide variety of thermal sources that are transformed into useable electricity, cooling, and heating. Thermafficient is a patented system that utilizes supercritical carbon dioxide “CO2” and other working fluids to create a power generating cycle in applications as broad as bottom cycling in power plants, industrial waste heat, solar thermal, geothermal, and alternatives to the Internal Combustion Engine.
