WOODTRICITY is a biomass-powered mCHP that produces part of the daily electricity and hot water needed for a household. It uses thermoelectric technology and the innovation relies on a mechanism, based on pulsating heat, that makes conventional and cheap thermoelectric generators improve their effective efficiency by a factor of 4 (from 1.25% to 5%). This system opens the door to a new business opportunity. WOODTRICITY is the first mCHP system that fulfils required indicators to generate sufficient market penetration: production of cheap and green energy, low initial investment and low payback time.
