Half the world's energy
goes up the stack.

The world spends about $12 trillion a year on energy — and roughly 50% of it is lost through chimneys and exhaust stacks. Sidel CREN captures that waste and gives it back as clean power, water, and food.

The bigger picture

This isn't an efficiency gadget.
It's a rethink of the entire stack.

There's a lot of energy-saving tech out there. What makes this different is the scale of what full deployment can achieve — at the power plant, at the cooling tower, in the data centre, and in the atmosphere.

From hot flue gas
to clean wattage, water & food.

One integrated retrofit built from proven technologies. The story is simple — every step below has its own page if you want the engineering.

Start

🔥 Boiler

Hot flue gas leaves the combustion process — full of particulates and paid-for heat.

 
Step 1 · Sidel

Rotary Particulate Collector

Removes ~90% of particulates and recovers heat. Patented, self-cleaning, one moving part.

Step 2 · Sidel

SRU Flue Gas Condenser

Recovers the remaining low-grade heat — and clean condensed water. Proven since 1978.

Explore SRU →
Step 3 · CREN

PCM Heat Storage

Novacab TESS thermal batteries bank the recovered heat in phase-change material.

Explore Storage →
Step 4 · TESS

ORC + Turbine

Stored heat is converted to clean, dispatchable electricity — on demand.

Explore Power →
Step 5 · Value

Greenhouse & Clean Stack

Cleaned CO₂ and water vapor grow food year-round. What's left exits the stack clean.

Where PCM fits into a power plant — Boiler to Sidel RPC to Sidel SRU to CREN PCM heat storage to TESS ORC turbine to clean stack
Where it all fits in a power plant: waste heat is recovered by the Sidel RPC and SRU, stored as latent heat in CREN PCM storage, then converted to additional power by the TESS ORC turbine — all before the gas exits the stack.
Community-scale power plant with greenhouse campus
The vision

No wasted exhaust.
Heat and CO₂ become jobs and food.

Community-scale power plants (15–50 MW) built for efficiency, resilience, and pride — with exhaust repurposed into year-round greenhouse food production instead of dumped into the sky.

Why believe it

We didn't invent a gadget.
We connected the proof.
