Whilst the world’s attention of course is at the Covid-19 pandemic, still beautiful and important things for the world’s future in the field of sustainable/renewable energy are happening. Microgen Engine Corporation is proud to be part of some of these green developments. Worldwide, several respected universities and research organizations are currently working on Heat/Thermal Storage Projects. The question is how to do the extraction/conversion of the thermal energy into electricity ? Heat engines based on the Stirling Cycle, like the ones from Microgen Engine Corporation, are amongst the promising solutions. The University of Bremerhaven, also using the Microgen engine, proudly presented their Energy Conversion Unit this February. This unit is part of the European “Socrates” project, using Calcium Carbonate as the storage medium and Solar Energy as the prime energy source. The unit is ready for shipment to the South of Spain where it will be integrated with other hardware and of course further tested.
