Global Clean Energy, Inc. announced the launch of a division dedicated to cogeneration and the signing of an exclusive consulting agreement with Axiom Energy Group, as well as a memorandum of understanding with SolydEra. The initiative is part of the company’s expansion of its MicroUtility model, which aims to deliver integrated and modular energy systems to commercial and industrial clients.
A model with no upfront investment for users
The approach is based on cogeneration technology, also known as Combined Heat and Power (CHP), which simultaneously produces electricity and heat from a single energy source. Global Clean Energy’s MicroUtility installations use natural gas-powered engines that capture waste heat to generate hot water. These systems are fully financed, installed, operated, and maintained by the company. The end user incurs no installation cost and benefits from immediate energy bill reductions through a shared-savings model.
Technology partnership with Axiom Energy
As part of the initiative, Global Clean Energy signed an agreement with Axiom Energy Group, manufacturer of a 4.4kW cogeneration system that can be scaled up to 30kW. These modular units are designed for various applications, ranging from hotels and fitness clubs to industrial laundries and manufacturing plants. Discussions are currently underway with multiple operators to install systems at strategic locations across North America.
Technology integration with SolydEra
In parallel, Global Clean Energy signed a memorandum of understanding to serve as the North American integrator of SolydEra’s Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology. These SOFC modules, with a capacity of 100kW, provide a low-emission alternative to engine-based systems and are expected to be market-ready within the next 12 months.
The company also plans to integrate U.S.-made water purification and heat exchange components to complete SolydEra’s technology offering, supporting deployment of systems up to 200kW for larger-scale facilities.
Positioning in the decentralised energy solutions segment
Steven Mann, Chief Development Officer of Global Clean Energy, stated that the partnerships enable the company to offer a full range of systems from 4.4kW to 200kW, tailored to the electrical and thermal needs of various industrial and commercial sectors. He noted that the aim is to reduce energy costs while providing high-efficiency, localised energy solutions.
James C. Green, President and CEO of Axiom Energy, highlighted the growth potential created by the three-party collaboration, pointing to the opportunity to deploy integrated, low-emission cogeneration systems.
Alexander Liberov, CEO of SolydEra, stated that the modularity and high efficiency of their SOFC systems meet the growing demand for decentralised energy across the North American continent.
