By swapping HERO^® for a coal-fired boiler within an existing power plant, emissions can be cut while power stations can continue to operate. Costs can be reduced by eliminating the need for infrastructure replacement and multi-million-dollar pollution control measures.

The cost to produce steam using HERO^® is around the same as with coal, with significant cost savings achievable due to a reduction in coal handling and pollution control. This has the potential to save power providers between $100 million to $250 million per year.

HERO^® can be placed in remote communities where it can quickly and reliably generate power at economical costs. HERO^® can play a critical role in the developing world, connecting people to clean, reliable power and lifting them out of poverty.

As demand for desalination rises, concern is also growing that the process must be made more affordable and sustainable. HERO^®’s clean, rapid heat generation can enable a more efficient desalination process, creating the clean water needed to sustain life without further harming the environment.
