Maturity stage TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1

Luminescent introduces the world’s most advanced heat engine, converting heat into zero-emission electricity. Traditional heat engines rely on gas, carrying minimal heat per volume, resulting in inefficiency and long payback periods, hindering decarbonization efforts. Luminescent changes this. Powered by proprietary liquid-based isothermal technology, it achieves an unprecedented thermal density of 1000X, ensuring near-perfect (70-80% Carnot) efficiency, making it a highly efficient and cost-effective alternative. The engine's modular stackable units of 1 MW each, constructed from simple components, enable low CAPEX and a rapid payback period of 1-3 years. Operating across a wide temperature range (45°C to 700°C), the engine's use cases include: - Industrial waste heat recovery: Achieving efficiency rates of 20-30% - Next-generation geothermal energy: Increasing generation capacity by 20% - Data center cooling: Decreasing electricity consumption by 5-10%
