Now with up to 24hr run time, increased reliability and ease of use
Today we’re pleased to announce the new v5.0 GEK Gasifier and related Power Pallet. Two years in development, the v5.0 represents a generational change in our core gasifier technology, incorporating all we’ve learned over the last five years of development and deployment. For you, this means a significant advancement in performance, ease of use, and cost of operation/maintenance.
All Power Pallets purchased from today forward will incorporate this new generation v5.0 gasifier and related auxiliary components.
The original modular GEK architecture has been an extremely powerful platform for rapid development and ongoing incremental changes. However at this point our “final answer” is mature enough that we can optimize around a much more integrated design, with desired performance features hardwired in, all built via a manufacturing method that is ready for large scale production. In short, we’ve completed the testing at scale, and can now deploy the solution at scale.
The result sunsets some of the DIY character that helped us reach this point, but replaces it with what we all really want from this technology: realistic “just works” usability, to support long runtime power generation installations. DIY kits will continue, but with the core technology now solid, we want to direct more of our collaborative efforts to the many details of field deployments.
As should be clear by now, we intend to move the needle on the global energy problem with small scale gasification. The v5 GEK gasifier is our new foundation to do so. The v5 GEK gasifier in a Power Pallet can now be considered a reasonable replacement for diesel generators, either as a stand alone energy platform, or forming the heart of a micro/mini-grid.
