The Idea
Products & Services
We are developing engines with key components manufactured from ceramics able to withstand fuel combustion temperatures, eliminating the need for cooling systems and doubling efficiencies of modern engines. With double efficiency, Carnot engines will halve fuel costs and CO2. To achieve net-zero operation our engines will also be able to operate on biofuels and hydrogen.
Problem Solved
The global transition to net zero means we need to radically rethink the way we generate, use and store energy. Markets are facing an unprecedented need to innovate due to upcoming emissions regulations and are looking to start-ups to meet this need.
Modern engines will waste on average one third of fuel energy to cooling systems which stop metallic components from melting, Carnot engines eliminate this waste doubling efficiency and with multi-fuel capability can provide a cost effective, low impact solution to achieving net-zero.
Revenue Model
Carnot has a 5-year, 3-phase exit strategy. We are currently approaching our first key milestone running a prototype in September of this year. To access our target markets, we will form development partnerships with industrial players - to whom we will licence our IP. Carnot will develop the core technology while the partners will handle manufacturing, sales and distribution. We aim to form early-stage R&D partnerships with potential end-users over the next 6 months to initiate pilot scale trials and demonstrate the technology and have already attained expressions of interest from end-users.
