Traditional heating and cooling systems are inefficient, consume excessive energy, and lack compatibility with solar power.
Seasonal energy fluctuations and grid stability require storage solutions that can provide power for months and last over 20 years, using affordable, accessible materials. Existing vanadium flow batteries are costly and a barrier to widespread adoption.
Industry consumes 40% of global energy, yet many energy audits that could identify savings remain unimplemented. Additionally, there is a lack of systems for continuous monitoring of energy savings and translating these into measurable outcomes like CO2 reduction and certification.
TRIGeN DC has introduced a centralized cooling system that achieves a Coefficient of Performance (COP) over 4, and a heating and dehumidification system aiming for a COP above 8. These systems are designed for integration with solar power and time-of-day pricing. The company ensures scalability and dependability through partnerships with established solar and air conditioning firms, rigorous engineering, and testing.
The innovative Redox Flow Battery introduces a single electrolytic reservoir design to minimize cross-contamination and eliminate the need for costly ion exchange membranes. This approach not only extends the battery’s lifespan to an estimated 25 years but also reduces costs significantly compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. The design incorporates proprietary electrode materials and is focused on optimizing both energy efficiency and scalability to meet broad market needs.
Developed by experienced energy auditors, WattGuage is a tech platform that enhances the entire energy management process. It uses three years of audit data and industry benchmarks to craft customized plans that focus on targeted technology interventions for maximum energy efficiency. The platform also provides continuous monitoring, allowing users to track energy savings progress, quantify CO2 reductions, and secure CO2 certifications. WattGuage addresses auditor engagement by incentivizing them based on the number of audits conducted, and its extensive data repository and proprietary design create a substantial barrier to entry for competitors.
The company has achieved $100,000 in annual recurring revenue and is on track to increase this tenfold. TRIGeN DC is currently preparing to establish a production facility and preparing to launch into the global markets while contributing to do R&D on more efficient cooling solutions.
Currently in TRL 4, the Redox Flow Battery has undergone initial testing showing no performance loss after 500 cycles. The next steps include advancing to TRL 7 through further development and demonstrations to finalize the engineering and business plans for scaling up the technology.
WattGuage is refining the platform to achieve Product-Market Fit through user testing and feedback. Plans for market expansion include partnering with top facility management companies to increase access and targeting large-scale companies to maximize both environmental and economic impact.

The Challenge
The Breakthrough
Seasonal energy fluctuations and grid stability demand energy storage solutions that can provide power for months, last for over 20 years, and utilize readily available, low-cost materials. While Vanadium flow batteries offer a glimpse of hope, their high cost remains a significant hurdle.
Our innovative Redox Flow Battery solution features a unique single electrolytic reservoir design, eliminating cross-contamination and the need for expensive ion exchange membranes. This innovative approach boasts a projected 25-year lifespan and the potential to be 10x more cost-effective than lithium-ion batteries.
The TRIGeN DC Vision
A Massive
Market Opportunity
The TRIGeN DC Journey
We envision a future where heat pumps replace conventional boilers, and next-generation cooling systems with COPs of 5 to 8 become the industry standard. Our strategic rollout begins with industrial heating, followed by cooling, before ultimately transforming the residential sector. With one invention disclosure already filed and a robust global patent portfolio on the horizon, we're poised to lead this thermal management revolution.
The global cooling demand is projected to surge from 500 million units annually to over 5 billion in the next 30 years, while the heating market anticipates 400 million new heat pumps within the next 7 years.
Our heating solutions are ready for market entry (GTM), while cooling systems are undergoing advanced development (TRL 4-6). We've already achieved a $100,000 annual recurring revenue (ARR) in heating and are geared for a 10x increase within the next 2 years. Pilot residential PCM (Phase Change Material) and chilling units are scheduled for deployment in 12 months. To fuel our ambitious growth plans, we're seeking strategic investors who can bring capital and customers.
Over half of the worldwide carbon emissions are attributed to the industrial and commercial domains. WattGuage deploys a holistic resolution. Our application encapsulates all aspects of energy administration, starting from building baselines to continuous observation, all under one user-centric platform. Aside from just audits, WattGuage endows consumers with tools for regular self-surveillance. Our long-term aspiration? Universal adoption of energy audits throughout all sectors.

Long duration energy storage
Integrated Energy Management Solutions Platform
Traditional heating and cooling systems devour over 50% of building energy, often relying on inefficient, piecemeal solutions. Incompatibility with solar power and high battery storage costs further hinder progress.
The transition to renewable energy necessitates a massive shift in energy storage capacity to maintain grid stability. Our Redox Flow Battery solution eliminates degradation issues, with single cell tests demonstrating no performance loss after 500 cycles. Additionally, we have filed 2 patents on our innovative coating materials, ensuring best-in-class performance.
Industry consumes a staggering 40% of global energy, yet many energy audits, crucial for identifying savings opportunities, remain unimplemented. Further compounding the issue, facilities lack a system for continuous monitoring of energy savings and translating them into concrete results like CO2 reduction and certification.
We're pioneering a game-changing centralized cooling system with built-in thermal storage, to achieve a Coefficient of Performance (COP) exceeding 4. Our integrated heating and dehumidification system creates a roadmap to achieve a COP exceeding 8, seamlessly working with Time-of-Day pricing and solar compatibility. Furthermore, our low and high ambient temperature heat pumps offer a wider range of applications.
Our Redox Flow battery solution is currently in the TRL 4 (Technology Readiness Level) stage. We are committed to advancing this technology to TRL 7 through Proof-of-Concept (POC) and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) demonstrations. This stage will involve finalising the EIRs to build and scale this concept, engineering and business plans, building 1 kVA prototypes for cost and performance verification, and piloting low-cost, compact design iterations.
Developed by seasoned energy auditors, WattGuage is a revolutionary tech platform that streamlines the entire energy management process. Leveraging 3 years of audit data and benchmarks across various industries, WattGuage creates customized implementation plans, incorporating targeted technology interventions for maximum energy savings. The platform's continuous monitoring capabilities empower users to track progress, quantify CO2 reductions, and achieve valuable CO2 certifications.
