Cold Power

Generating clean electricity that competes with fossil fuels

Pitch

25% of our world’s greenhouse gas emissions is caused by the generation of electricity because fossil fuels have to be burned in order to create electricity. Every year we consume more electricity which will result in higher greenhouse gas emmissions in the coming years. There are several techniques that can replace fossil fuels by renewable energy sources such as solar energy, geothermal energy or wind energy. Unfortunately, all those renewable energy sources have one thing in common: they are not as cheap as using fossil fuels. If a renewable energy source would be as cheap as fossil fuels there would be no reason not to use renewable energy in the future.

This future is not the future anymore, it is the present! EvaCon Energy develops a new geothermal energy technique that is able to create electricity at the same price as fossil fuel generated electricity. It’s called: Cold Power
