Nitro-Turbodyne is a cleantech/greentech innovation company with several patents and patents pending in carbon mitigation/scrubbing, renewable energy, high-flow controllers and biofuel industries. 1) Developed, built and delivered a Liquid Air Energy Storage System (LAESS) to the US Navy. The system used electricity developed from windmills and solar panels during non-peak load periods and stored it as liquid air. The liquid air is then used to produce and augment electric power during peak usage times. 2) Developing patent-pending carbon scrubber technology for high-volume emitters of CO2 - including power plants, incinerators, cement plants, petroleum refineries and other industries. 3) Developed patented Cold-Turbine(TM) technology products - clean, quiet and maintenance-free turbines that flash-expand liquid nitrogen to provide power for generators, pumps, flywheels and rotating machinery. 4) Developed and built carbon-sequestration technology for the concrete, block and paver industry under exclusive contract to CarbonCure Technologies of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. 5) Developed patent-pending an ultra-high gas flow controller technologies with 10,000+ SLPM capacity for LN2, CO2 and other inert gasses 6) Developed patent-pending, ultra-compact, high-capacity heat exchanger technology that allows fast, high-volume conversion of cryoliquids to gas 7) Developed high-speed, portable, "clean, green" bulk petroleum tank inerting system that cuts the time to empty/inert and repair bulk petroleum tanks from weeks to hours. Uses clean, green and inexpensive nitrogen for faster repairs. 8) Developing patent pending a mobile/modular biofuel reactor/processing plant that has a scaleable capacity of biogasoline/biodiesel up to thousands of litres/day. The modular/mobile biofuel production plant is contained in as little as 380 sq.ft. of space, and units can be added to increase production capacity - up to 1M litres/day Show less

The LACI is the #1 cleantech incubator in the United States and the #3 incubator in the world. CarbonCap has developed, tested and successfully demonstrated an ultra-high capacity CO2 scrubber designed to remove carbon from power plants, cement plants, steel foundries, incinerators, petroleum refineries and kilns - just about any plant or process that emits high volumes of CO2. The scrubber system uses a proprietary, patent-pending sorbent-based process to allow for ultra-high volumes of flue and waste gases, yet fits into a very small space. The scrubber is extremely efficient and can use solar or wind power, and uses no fresh water and has zero parasitic-load to capture and store ultra-high purity CO2 (98%+) gas or liquid. The system was designed, built and demonstrated as part of the US Navy's Liquid Air Energy Storage System (developed by Nitro-Turbodyne, Inc.) in August of 2016. Show less
