Designed for Steady State, Damaged In Between

A plant is specified for the hours it runs steadily. It accumulates most of its wear in the hours it does not.

Start-Up Is Where the Design Assumptions Stop Working

A plant is designed around a single operating point and spends most of its life nowhere near it. Why transients decide the maintenance bill, and the honest trade-offs in designing for start-up, shutdown and low-load operation.

The film

Zero-X · Vision 2026

2:16 · Produced by EX OS Media Engine

Energy demand keeps rising. Fuel supply is falling faster. Landfills are filling up.

A fuel tanker delivering diesel by road — Fuel comes by truck, when it comes.

Waste burning in the open in a field — Waste is burned in the open.

Waste dumped along a riverbank — Or dumped in the river.

The world pays $252 billion a year to get rid of its waste. Yet waste is energy, already here. No ship. No pipeline. No imports.

The breakthrough

The problem that stopped every machine. Solved.

For decades, every machine that tried to use real waste hit the same wall: the ash melted and hardened into clinker, choked the reactor, and the plant stopped. Our team in Germany spent twenty years on that one problem and solved it. Externally validated by leading research institutions. Government-funded development.

Waste in. Clean gas out. One machine.

Straw

Sludge

Wood waste

Plastic

Household waste

Clean gas leaving the X-150 outlet — Out comes clean gas, to run a generator, for example.

150 kg/h of dry waste per unit

Modular and movable: need more power? Add units.

Running in weeks, not years.

Built like a car, by local partners anywhere in the world.

One frozen design, a supply chain built to scale, and certified partners who build, install and service the X-150 in their own markets.

An AI that understands the machine.

Every unit is monitored live, day and night, with its own eyes on site. No engineers on site around the clock. A local technician runs it, with the AI at her side.

Energy where people need it most.

A rural clinic with its lights on — A clinic that keeps its lights on.

A farmer in the tropics with his straw harvest — A farmer who earns from his straw instead of burning it.

A clear tropical river running past a village — A river that runs clear of waste.

Plants growing in soil treated with biochar

Biochar · research

We are studying what is left as biochar: carbon for the soil.

OXYFUEL · research

Our research programme: the same gas, turned into ethanol, and one day, fuel that flies.

Waste could power a tenth of the world. We are building the company that does it.

Every town is an energy source. Let's switch them on.
