Enthusiast Companies
Building American Energy
We build the Multi-Disc Rotary Generator, a power generating system that converts stranded and abandoned wellhead methane into electricity and heat. We have surveyed the Reelfoot Rift in the central United States for natural hydrogen systems since 2023. It is a potential clean energy source. We are working to modularize chemistry that turns hydrogen into products like ammonia, methanol and clean chemicals at the wellhead.
Three corporations. One vision.
Power, then hydrogen, then chemicals. The natural progression of our vision of a clean energy and chemicals enterprise.
Operating
The MDRG Generating System
A turbocharged Brayton-cycle machine rated 75 kWe nominal. One unit, one well, on gas conventional generation will not burn.
- Output
- 75 kWe nominal
- Fuel
- 17 Mcf/day
- Deploys
- 5-site PoC, 2027
Exploration
The Future Energy Resource
Naturally occurring geologic hydrogen, the fuel the engine was designed for. Our detection locates the resource from surface before a rig is ever moved.
- Target
- 1,500 to 3,000 m
- Survey
- Since 2023
- Region
- Reelfoot Rift
Development
The Clean Modular Chemistry
A modular skid that turns turbine exhaust into product. What the engine gives off is used on site or in process rather than into the air.
- Input
- Turbine exhaust
- Scale
- Bench
- Output
- Ammonia at the well
Three corporations.
One parent.
