What is a compost heater?
Using the warmth of nature to save our planet
The compost heater uses the heat made from the natural respiration processes that happen all around us instead of wasting them. This is the new age of efficiency.
How does it work?
01.
Wood pellets (and other organic materials are put in a pile.
02.
Between each layer of organic material, a pipe with water is places
03.
As the process of decomposition starts, micro organisms begin respiring releasing heat
04.
The heat is captured by the water in the tubes.
05.
The water is then used to heat the housing through traditional heating infrastructure.
What is the problem?
We started our company with a single, defined goal: revolution. Heating accounts for about 40 percent (!) of global carbon emissions, our world was built on systems that did not consider our environment as a factor, leaning into fossil fuels. In our modern age, governments and corporations choose fossil fuels because they are still more convenient, plentiful and inexpensive to obtain, allowing billions to receive energy and heating they need to survive. So now, we reach our problem, our world is in desperate need for an accessible, cheap and environmentally friendly way to obtain heating and energy. Wait, well there is already a solution, right? Don’t we have countless different methods to gain renewable energy? The current renewable methods are so expensive, countries or people who wish to use them, cannot.
A simple comparison between the most common heating methods - compost is cheaper, takes less time and supports your farm.
Future projects:
Cooling system:
To use hot water from the compost to cool buildings in hot environments (such as UAE)
we are planning to use a technology named an absorbent cooler. A hot water type
absorbent cooler/refrigerator will use the energy of the hot water and use it to reduce
the temperature of the medium such as water or air. Absorbent refrigerators use 3 times
less electricity than normal air conditioning units.
Electricity production:
Our compost can combine composting and biogas,
a gas that can be used to produce electricity. It is
used as a fuel for a biogas generator, producing
around 12 KWh of power daily (half of the daily
average for a house).
