Challenges arising from the NET ZERO transition
The transition to Net Zero has introduced an unprecedented demand for clean energy and the global market is searching for solutions that can deliver continuous green electricity.
Recognised by industries, regulators and climate experts, there is an urgent need for new technologies that can support the journey from fossil fuels, and Governments across the world are looking for ways to ensure a full transition to the electrification of power.
The renewable solutions currently available on the market rely on specific weather and site conditions, and more importantly, need some degree of support from the grid infrastructure.
The challenges arising from the transition to NetZero are numerous and we are addressing some of the main pain points.
We are developing the next-gen renewable energy solution which can help overcome these.
Clean baseload energy - where you need it, when you need it!

The Thermawynd® Technology
We have designed an innovative solution to providing continuous electrical energy. Based on the extraction of geothermal energy, unlike wind or solar power, it is not dependent on the availability of sun and wind. Compared to traditional geothermal solutions, it differentiates by not requiring high underground heat gradients. The key objective of the solution is to rely on sufficient heat transfer at relatively low geothermal temperatures, making it suitable for any geographical location. The technology has a wide application and will be particularly beneficial for power supply in rural/remote areas.
CONTINUOUS BASELOAD POWER
Micro Thermal Energy offers a novel technology which provides a baseload of clean, continuous and reliable electrical energy through a subsurface closed-loop, stand-alone system.
The clean energy solution, named Thermawynd®, uses low temperature heat sources to drive a turbine for electricity generation. The system can be installed in modules with each producing ~200-400kwWh of stable baseload power at a >90% system uptime.
It is completely independent from weather, has a small footprint and no requirements for site conditions.
DENSE ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE
Our solution enables a dense charging infrastructure outside urban areas. This will particularly benefit the electrification of transport by providing high-power charging stations for commercial HGVs and buses.
EV charging providers will be able to install charge points without having to wait several years for grid connection, this will help to reduce range anxiety often felt by EV owners.
High-energy consumers can benefit from clean power at predictable and lower prices, unaffected by geopolitical events. Businesses can meet emission targets, reduce risk and avoid imported electricity.
OFF-GRID POWER
When coupled to a geothermal well, the system enables power generation in areas where grid access is not available, or where the grid is saturated.
As grid congestion continues to be a significant barrier, the off-grid feature makes Thermawynd® particularly well suited to meet electricity demands while supporting NetZero targets.
REMOTE ENERGY RISILIENCE
Rural areas are faced with specific challenges to cost-effective decarbonisation; they struggle with an ageing electricity infrastructure and have greater reliance on cars, with longer average journey mileage than those in urban areas. Some communities also face regular outages due to extreme weather events.
The Thermawynd® solution can help all such areas accelerate their energy resilience with local on-site electricity generation.
