CAPITAL EFFICIENCY & SCALE UP
Faster scale up than batteries or PV, with much less capital
how?
THE GAME CHANGER
Gigawatts (GW) with no new gigafactories
-
massive worldwide factory capacity - today
-
commodity steel fabrication & glass mirrors
-
top-tier high-volume piston engine and turbine factories
-
no new, scarce, or toxic materials
-
no new processes
-
no new science
⇒ just practical innovation and end-to-end systems engineering
RAPID SCALE UP,

KEY TO STORAGE COST BREAKTHROUGH
Steam piston engine
-
the only supplier of this “old” but essential high technology is Spilling Technologies GmbH
-
Terrajoule and Spilling Technologies are exclusive partners for solar power
-
highly refined during decades of continuous heavy-duty use
-
manufacturing of Spilling Technologies steam gensets is under exclusive license
-
but … how to manufacture in multi-GW volumes?
⇒ our world-leading diesel genset partner has multi-GW existing capacity for steam genset manufacturing
⇒ repurposing state-of-the-art fossil-power technology for clean solar
⇒ worldwide existing heavy-duty diesel genset production capacity
> 30 GW/year
