ENG8, a Gibraltar-based company, has achieved a world-first milestone in power generation with its catalyzed fusion system. The EnergiCells reactor, based on low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) technology, can produce electricity indefinitely without any external input power. This self-powering system will also export net electricity, marking a significant breakthrough in the pursuit of fusion energy.
According to Dr. Jean-Paul Biberian, an LENR expert who conducted technical due diligence on EnergiCell, “The device can operate indefinitely without any external input power.” Valeria Tyutina, CEO of ENG8, highlighted that catalyzed fusion technology offers a viable source of zero-emission, affordable energy to drive the global economy.
EnergiCells fuse hydrogen nuclei producing photons or light and directly producing electrons or electricity. The company maintains that this technology is mass-producible, allowing everyone on the planet to have access to their own independent energy source. Industrial customers with energy requirements ranging from 3 megawatts to 8 gigawatts have already shown interest in ENG8’s technology.
The system consists of two main components: the EnergiCell and the supporting system. Both components are mass-producible, with a claimed capital cost that is one-third of wind and solar. The operating cost is also comparable to a hydrocarbon generator set without fuel costs. Water molecules supply the hydrogen ions needed for catalyzed fusion.
ENG8 claims that its proprietary intellectual property significantly increases the amount of energy released compared to forming plasma. This breakthrough technology has the potential to decentralize energy generation, decarbonize the economy, and slash energy prices. As CEO Valeria Tyutina stated, “Our self-powering EnergiCells possess the potential to transform our energy landscape towards a cleaner, more sustainable world.”
