waste heat to electricity conversion

ATS Energy converts industrial waste heat into clean, below-grid-price electricity using its modular Solid-State Generator (SSG) with no moving parts in the conversion core. Its 'Powder to Power' process refines, sinters, and precision-finishes bismuth and tellurium into thermoelectric pellets built into cartridges for the generators. The company was awarded the 2024 Earthshot Prize in the Fix Our Climate category.

JTEC Energy develops the Johnson Thermo-Electrochemical Converter (JTEC), a solid-state electrochemical engine that converts low-grade waste heat (100°C and above) into electricity. The company was formed in 2020 by Dr. Lonnie Johnson and Mike McQuary to commercialize the technology, which scales from kilowatts to megawatts, requires no fuel input, and connects to existing infrastructure.
