Cleantech energy pioneer receives recognition in Green Tech category
Carson City, NV – Novemember 12, 2008 – ElectraTherm, Inc. today announced the editors of Popular Science have named the ElectraTherm Green Machine one of the top technology innovations of 2008. As a winner of a Best of What’s New Award in the Green Tech category, the ElectraTherm Green Machine stands out as the first commercially viable generator to make electricity from low temperature, residual industrial heat that has, until now, gone to waste.
“After four years of research and development, we are thrilled to bring the ElectraTherm Green Machine to market, and pleased to see this ground-breaking technology recognized by Popular Science Magazine,” says Richard Langson, CEO of ElectraTherm. “Our technology takes heat and pressure, and turns it into usable power. We believe this clean, green, economic energy solution will have far-reaching impact on industries worldwide.”
Using patented heat and pressure recovery technology, ElectraTherm employs its proprietary twin-screw expander to generate fuel-free, emissions-free electricity at the lowest operating costs and fastest paybacks in the industry.
