Efficient, scalable, and economical clean power is now within reach
Powered by a new thermodynamic cycle: LAVA’s liquid-based isothermal technology converts heat into power and power into heat at near-perfect efficiency, delivering superior returns with rapid payback.
With LAVA, clean energy isn’t just the responsible choice – it’s also a profitable one.
LAVA makes clean energy more efficient and profitable than fossil fuels:
Our proprietary liquid-based technology achieves unprecedented efficiency (70-80% of Carnot), powering three roadmap solutions:
01
an isothermal heat engine:
zero-emission electricity generation
02
an isothermal heat pump:
cooling and heating for industrial and other large applications
03
a Carnot Battery:
long duration storage
for renewable electricity
The world’s first isothermal heat engine
Turning heat into zero emission electricity
The world's most efficient heat engine transforms heat into zero-emission electricity at near-perfect efficiency. Its proprietary technology uses liquid instead of gas, delivering efficiency 25% higher at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions.
70-80% CARNOT EFFICIENCY
Unmatched efficiency at a broad temp range
1-3 YEARS TO PAYBACK
Ensured by minimal CAPEX, guaranteeing a swift ROI
SIMPLE COMPONENTS & MODULAR DESIGN
Keep costs down with simple, plug-and-play setup
Use Cases:
Industrial
Waste Heat
20-30%
Converting industrial heat into electricity at 20%-30% efficiency. Low CAPEX delivers a rapid ROI and payback period of 1-3 years.
Enhanced Geothermal Technology (EGT)
+20%
Making it easier to extract more electricity from geothermal heat, delivering a 20% increase in project generation capacity.
LARGE SCALE INDUSTRIAL HEAT PUMP
LAVA's high-efficiency heat pump: our isothermal pump provides industry-leading efficiency and cost for large scale heating and cooling, unlocking applications inaccessible until now.
Higher Heat Range
Our pumps power a heat range of ambient to 200°C
Higher Lifts
Heat sources can be elevated by as high as 200°C
Best Unit Economics
Simple components keep our price low and our ROI high
Long duration electricity storage and generation in one
LAVA’s Carnot Battery integrates its heat engine and heat pump with a thermal storage tank, enabling long-duration energy storage at unprecedented efficiency and rates. By combining energy storage with power generation, LAVA can effectively transform any solar or wind installation into a dispatchable baseload power source, solving the most critical challenge in energy transition today.
Our Leadership
LAVA was founded in 2020 with the goal of making clean electricity affordable and reliable. Led by a diverse team of experts from academia, business, and technology, LAVA introduces a new proprietary thermodynamic cycle, dramatically improving the efficiency and economics of heat to electricity and electricity to hear conversion, making clean energy not only a responsible choice but also a sound financial decision.
