The Future of Wind Turbines
Exciting advancements in wind turbine technology are on the horizon, featuring much smaller and more efficient designs. These emerging turbines utilize vertical pole oscillation, capturing wind from any direction, and rectangular devices mounted along flat rooftops, harnessing wind hitting the building sides and accelerating over the roof. These innovations are expected to significantly reduce turbine size and provide enhanced 24/7 power, complementing solar energy sources for a more sustainable future.
A Game-Changer in Water Purification
A new method and process of distillation has reduced the amount of energy needed and therefore the cost of distillation by close to an order of magnitude. Because the method does not rely on high pressures requiring heavy components, the capital cost of equipment has been dramatically reduced, making it a viable solution for commercial adoption.
The Power of Geothermal Cooling and Heating
In the pursuit of sustainable and energy-efficient solutions, geothermal cooling and heating systems have emerged as a promising frontier. These innovative systems leverage the Earth's constant temperature to provide a renewable and cost-effective source of heating and cooling.
The Power of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are the focus of many sustainable initiatives because of the global emphasis on decarbonization. Covesta specializes in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) because sustainable liquid fuels including many types of vegetable oil are often readily available, affordable, and produced in country in many agrarian locations.
Embracing Solar
The drawback of Solar PV is the limitation of power generation to daylight hours. The high cost, short life, and disposal issues of many batteries are a problem. Our integrated approach enables seamless integration with other renewable technologies such as fuel cells, micro-wind turbines, and geothermal systems, delivering more affordable and sustainable 24/7 load following demand including heating and cooling needs.
Decentralized Sanitation Solutions
As urbanization accelerates and rural populations grow, the challenges surrounding sanitation become increasingly evident. Access to safe and efficient sanitation facilities is crucial for public health and environmental sustainability.
Portable Micro-Utility Trailers
In regions like South and Southeast Asia, access to reliable power and clean water is crucial for the well-being and prosperity of communities. Unfortunately, many areas in these regions suffer from limited infrastructure and face challenges in meeting their energy and water needs.
Integrated Water and Sanitation Solutions
Investing in sanitation and clean water yields substantial economic benefits. The Asian Development Bank estimates that for every $1 spent on sanitation and clean water, a remarkable $8 is saved in health costs, reduced sick leave, and enhanced productivity. Clean Water leads to better Health, which, in turn, fosters improved Productivity and overall Growth.
Integrated Solutions for Cooling and Heating
As climate change intensifies, the demand for cooling and heating energy is on the rise, placing strain on electric grids and generating capacity. Covesta's integrated solutions address this challenge by optimizing energy usage and promoting a sustainable approach to cooling and heating.
