Cornerstone Sustainable Energy, LLC.’s (Stock Symbol: RCVA) PwrCor™ Technology brings focus on low-temperature geothermal opportunities. Although much of the focus thus-far has been on higher-temperature geothermal market opportunities, older technology is really to blame. There are a large amount of geothermal wells that had to be capped and written off due to either their heat flow being too low of a temperature or their volume being too low. With the advent of PwrCor™ Technology, this will now change.
Although there is no real assessment of the size of lower-temperature geothermal market opportunity, the best estimates put the size of the market somewhere around 3 times the existing opportunity in the U.S. alone. This is about 20,000 Megawatts or 20 Gigawatts.
PwrCor™ Technology is the first real attempt to tap into the low-grade and totally unexploited low-grade geothermal market. Cornerstone Sustainable Energy, LLC. uses the PwrCor™ Engine as a way to provide multiple solutions for companies. They can also tap into the remaining waste heat, or bottoming cycle, to improve the efficiency of the existing high-temperature geothermal installations after the primary cycle is complete.
As mentioned before, the geothermal wells that were drilled, as well as some other wells, are very attractive right now because the PwrCor™ Engine can go where older, now outdated and obsolete technologies, cannot. Until now, these vast geothermal resources have been untapped because older competing technologies were unable to convert the low volume heat flows of low-grade heat into power.
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.
