Gulf Coast Green Energy Teams up with ElectraTherm for Clean Energy for Texas
Texas is the site for the first commercial ElectraTherm “Green Machine”
Bay City, Texas-May 29, 2008 – Gulf Coast Green Energy (GCGE) today announced the successful first commercial installation of ElectraTherm’s waste heat generator on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. ElectraTherm’s Green Machine makes electricity from geothermal or industrial heat that in the past has been wasted. With the patented technology, the ElectraTherm Green Machine uses minimal heat to generate fuel-free, emissions-free electricity at a very low cost. Testing of the 50kW Green Machine, installed at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas by Gulf Coast Green Energy and ElectraTherm, (www.electraTherm.com) has exceeded expectations, reaching output well beyond its 50kW rating.
As fuel costs increase, the search for viable alternative fuel sources has become more intense than ever. “This is a fabulous opportunity for Texas with global implications,” said Loy Sneary, CEO of Gulf Coast Green Energy, “and we are grateful to SMU for their commitment to improving the environment and allowing us to install and demonstrate this cutting edge technology.”
Companies whose energy usage produces waste heat or pressure drops in the oil and gas industry are prime candidates for ElectraTherm’s waste heat generators and Gulf Coast Green Energy’s expert service.
“Many companies are beginning to invest in making their old electrical generating equipment more energy-efficient or updating their systems to produce cleaner output,” says Sneary. “These same companies are streamlining their operations to cut down on wasted energy. Our family of scalable power systems converts low grade waste heat into usable, electric power by blending traditional components with cutting edge technology. The result is a green energy, emissions free solution that enhances the bottom line.”
With oil prices well above $120 a barrel, it is more critical than ever to look for alternative energy sources, and making use of waste energy to produce electricity is a win-win. An ElectraTherm power generator comes with the lowest cost for alternative power generation.
ElectraTherm’s innovative design was recently recognized at the 2007 Geothermal Energy Association Trade Show, the largest international event for the geothermal industry, where it received “Best of Show” honors.
A 50 kW Green Machine will be demonstrated on the SMU campus during the SMU Geothermal Lab sponsored International Geothermal Energy Utilization Conference June 17-18. For information about the conference go to www.smu.edu/geothermal Or contact Maria Richards-214.768.1975.
