SBIR-STTR Award

This project will develop a renewable energy system that will generate electricity by extracting energy from the excess head pressure in water transmission pipelines. The innovative technology has the capacity to generate millions of kilowatt-hours from an abundant source of energy which, to date, has been wasted

The U.S. faces increasing vulnerability as it depends on expensive, non renewable energy supplies from politically unstable regions. The most common renewable energy sources - wind, solar, geothermal, and traditional hydroelectric - are not growing at an adequate pace to meet demand. The U.S. needs additional innovative, pragmatic alternatives to achieve energy security.Lucid Energy Technologies, LLP (
