Aluminum Fueled Galvanic Generator
Aluminum has 2.5X the energy density of gasoline/diesel and is the most abundant metal on earth. AlumaPower's Galvanic Generator extracts electricity and heat from Aluminum Fuel Discs by reversing the electrochemical reactions used in the original smelting. Drop-in Fuel Discs like CDs, add our solid electrolyte and water to activate.

REMAFS: Rare Earth Metals from Alternative Flouride Salt
This technology represents a groundbreaking advancement, addressing one of the most significant environmental and safety challenges in rare earth metal manufacturing. Unlike current processes, which rely on rare earth fluorides (REF₃) produced using hazardous chemicals such as HF or (NH₄)F·HF, this new method eliminates the need for HF entirely.

Electrochemical Reactive Capture from Exhaust Flue Gas Streams
Our technology captures carbon dioxide (CO₂) from industrial exhaust and electrochemically converts it into useful chemicals in a single step. Using low-cost, earth-abundant catalyst material, it efficiently transforms CO₂, to CO, reducing overall system cost by up to 70% compared to alternatives that use expensive catalysts.

CO₂-Storing Precast Concrete: Enhancing Strength Through CO₂ Curing of Alternative Cements
This breakthrough locks CO₂ into concrete, making it stronger, greener, and more durable. Instead of releasing emissions, the concrete absorbs CO₂, cutting pollution while boosting performance. No steam, less energy, lower carbon footprint. A game-changer for sustainable construction; stronger concrete, cleaner planet.
