Converting waste heat into low-cost clean electricity
Learn more


Currently, 70% of the energy produced globally is lost as waste heat. 

Our innovative and patented new Stirling engine technology can convert the enormous amount of available heat into clean, reliable, and affordable electricity.

Harness your waste heat to slash costs and emissions

Our Stirling engine technology can be installed directly where the heat is generated and convert it into electricity.

Our technology is scalable and efficient even at small scales so it can be sized for specific applications, from kW to MW scales.

Applications

Our Stirling engines can be powered by any heat source so there are numerous applications for our technology.

Steel mills

Convert exhaust gas from furnaces (e.g. reheat furnaces, EAFs) into electricity for on-site use.

Oil and gas production

Waste heat from compressor stations and other processes can be converted into electricity regardless of how remote they are.

Biomass and biofuels

Burn biomass and biofuels in a clean and controllable environment to produce sustainable electricity.

Cement and other industries

 Our technology is flexible and scalable and can be installed in many facilities. Please contact us to discover if your project is a good fit.

Ekstera Advantages

High Efficiency

Our higher efficiencies mean that you can generate more power and use lower temperature heat sources.

Affordability

Use heat sources that are free and readily available to generate electricity at a very low cost and save money by offsetting your current electricity costs.

Sustainability

Use a wide range of carbon-free and carbon-neutral heat sources to generate electricity including waste heat, biomass (like wood or crop waste), hydrogen, solar thermal, geothermal, and many more.

Easy to Integrate

Our power units are small, scalable, and quiet with flexible electrical outputs so they are simple to integrate into your current setup.

Reliability

You can rely on Ekstera's Stirling engine generators to provide continuous power and be flexible in the heat sources that are used.

Robust

Our power units can be used in harsh environments with any heat source so you can generate electricity anywhere.
