What is the Power Burner?

Uses natural gas to co-generate heat and power

Attaches to thermal equipment by replacing the legacy burner

Utilizes 100% of the waste heat pushing the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) efficiency to 82%

Generates electricity @ $0.025 kW/h

Offers less than a 2-year payback without considering incentives
