Cornerstone Sustainable Energy, LLC.’s (Stock Symbol: RCVA) business deals a lot with helping larger energy consumers to decrease the cost of their existing power consumption and of added power requirements. They identify, select and implement cost-effective and sustainable energy production technologies for its customers, and assists in various ways to finance those improvements.
Cornerstone Sustainable Energy, Inc’s PwrCor™ Engine, depending on the configurations, can bring operations cost down by 25-75% of power systems that produce equivalent output. In fact they can actually reduce the costs by 96% which can justify replacement due to the quick payback. Capital costs are also very low with the PwrCor™ Engine. The engine configurations can be priced at some 60-85% of equivalent power systems.
As engines are built larger, one will see a distinct drop in cost up to, and beyond the 200 horsepower range. Projections beyond that point, as with many technologies, will continue to reduce the cost per horsepower.
There is also a sharp decrease in cost and additional benefits for alternative energy applications. This is because the heat input required is low compared to other engines as is the heat differential required to cycle the engine. This makes the engine environmentally friendly, but also helps to lower the cost by allowing the use of low-grade geothermal or even waste heat. There are geothermal wells that have already been drilled but were abandoned since their heat flows were too low of a temperature, or because their volume was inadequate. Although these costs were considered “sunk” before, they can now be recovered.
About Cornerstone Sustainable Energy, LLC.
Cornerstone Sustainable Energy, LLC. (CSE) sees enormous potential in the more reliable, free, abundant and virtually inexhaustible, sources of “green” energy such as geothermal heat and solar heat. This also includes the easily tapped sources of energy from the heat of stranded gas and biogas combustion as well as a near infinite opportunity in the area of waste heat. CSE taps these practical and much lower-cost energy resources to dramatically improve not only the environmental impacts of a customer’s power usage but also its efficiency and cost.
Although everybody likes the idea of “going green”, few people were able to spend the money that it used to require. CSE provides a more practical alternative energy solution that can make a customer’s power generation even more efficient, and can help them tap into renewable sources and qualify them as a provider of renewable energy.
