ERGENICS

The sun sends us more than enough energy to power everything on earth, thousands of times more, but systems that harness the sun's energy by converting it into electricity have been expensive, resulting in high electricity costs. Ergenics is developing a metal hydride heat engine that converts solar hot water into electricity for an estimated cost of less than 1 per kilowatt hour, much less than what we are paying for electricity today. Plus, the electricity is created without any pollution... Ergenics became the HERA USA subsidiary of HERA, Hydrogen Storage Systems Inc. of Longueuil, Quebec, Canada in 2003. It was subsequently acquired by its management team in April, 2006.
