A battery chemistry that served spacecraft is getting a second career on the grid. EnerVenue’s harder invention has been the factory that can make it.
Brillouin Energy
Brillouin Energy is an Emeryville, California clean-technology company developing thermal energy systems based on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR). Its patented Controlled Electron Capture Reaction (CECR) process uses small amounts of hydrogen, nickel and electricity to generate heat via its Hydrogen Hot Tube (HHT) reactor and proprietary Q-Pulse control system, with helium as a negligible byproduct and no carbon emissions or radioactive waste. Founded in 2009 by Robert Godes, the company aims to commercialize licensable, ultra-clean heat for industrial process, district energy and distributed power applications.
