The Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) generator converts waste heat into electricity. Compared to traditional steam and thermal systems, the sCO2 design is more than 85% more efficient, and produces 50% more electricity.

Giant volumes of waste heat is a necessary evil in heavy industry. But these generators can be deployed across thousands of Chinese refineries, smelters, mills, and major factories, and convert waste heat into usable electricity.
