SubsidieMeestersReducing natural gas needs and carbon emissions in industrial usage and transforming industry towards hydrogen with HERC, a novel plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) technology
Efenco's HERC technology enhances industrial combustion efficiency by 18% and reduces GHG emissions by 20%, targeting over 50,000 EU systems for a €105.6M revenue opportunity by 2027.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Efenco is developing disruptive plasma-assisted carbon-neutral combustion (PA CNC) technology for industrial heat production to achieve a whole new level of efficiency and GHG emissions reduction in the burning of methane, hydrogen, and their mixtures.
Addressing Industry Needs
We address the gains and pains of >1MW high-temperature process heat (HTPH) companies on their path to CO2 neutrality.
Innovation Overview
We introduce HERC (High Energy Ray Ceramic), a disruptive innovation in fundamental physics and materials technology.
HERC Chip Features
- HERC chip is a robust, reliable, and self-powered device that initiates PA CNC in the combustion and exhaust processes.
- HERC boosts burning efficiency by 18% and lowers GHG emissions by 20%.
Integration and Market Potential
HERC is designed to be fitted in existing industrial boiler systems to gain a higher return on assets and lower OPEX.
Market Opportunity
We estimate that there are around 50,000 suitable systems in the EU only, with the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by 1 Mt a while opening a strong business opportunity of €105.6M in revenue by the end of 2027.
