From innovative energy production systems to zero-carbon storage. These energy startups are hoping to change the future. Although each of them offers different technologies, they are all united by a single mission - to make the future cleaner and more efficient.
1. Kite Power Systems
Startup Kite Power Systems, as the name suggests, is trying to generate power using kites. It looks like this ancient technology can find a second life. The company created the world's first commercial power plant solution using kites.
The startup's founders argue that the technology will be a great solution to the world's energy problems. The system can be used both onshore and offshore and, most importantly, without the need for government subsidies. Each rig consists of a set of kites flying in a figure-of-eight trajectory at an altitude of about 450 meters. Each pair of kites pulls on a cable that turns the drum.
2.peezi
In addition to leaks and poor seals, poor filters are another significant barrier to improving energy efficiency in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Energy startup peezi hopes to offer a simple and relatively cheap method to reduce unnecessary energy waste.
peezi wants to make HVAC systems more efficient by offering an inexpensive filter maintenance solution. The development is a compact sensor that can be easily inserted into an HVAC air filter and immediately start receiving useful monitoring information. In addition, the system includes a set of audio sensors for identification of breakdowns and notification of filter replacement.
3. American Wind
American Wind hopes to revolutionize wind power. According to Novate.ru, for this, the startup has developed an innovative cubic wind turbine that will be able to generate energy almost 1000 times more than solar panels of a similar size.
The MicroCube wind turbine is an extremely compact device that is no larger than a regular laptop. The MicroCube comes with a 1 kilowatt generator. Thus, in a relatively small area, it is possible to fit several tens of such cubes and generate a large amount of energy.
4. Constructis
Constructis is an interesting and innovative startup that has literally broken all stereotypes about energy generation. The company has succeeded in developing a device that can collect kinetic energy from the movement of vehicles on the roads. Constructis revolutionized the technology with zero carbon emissions. Our Roadway Energy X (REX) platform is an under-road generator that collects over 1,100 watts of electricity from every two-axle vehicle passing by.
A single generator on a four-lane busy road is enough to electrify three private houses. While the actual amount of energy harvested is currently relatively small, if increased (and reduced operating costs), the technology can prove to be a valuable addition to the city's energy balance.
5. H2GO Power
Startup H2GO Power is developing a solid-state method for storing hydrogen energy. Like many others, the company believes that the future lies in energy storage, not generation. Their innovation lies in the creation of an inexpensive and safe solution for the production and storage of hydrogen.
According to the company's official website, their mission is to provide affordable, reliable energy to millions of people around the world in an environmentally friendly manner. The solution is to store and generate hydrogen gas that can be used in fuel cells. Instead of a high pressure cylinder, hydrogen is stored as solid carbon for further processing.

On the possibility of fast modern generation of oil and gas
Back in 1993, Russian scientists proved that oil and gas are renewable resources. And you need to extract no more than is generated as a result of natural processes. Only then can the loot be considered non-barbaric
What do we trade besides oil and gas? Russia and high-tech exports
The fifth column stubbornly repeats about a Russia-gas station, capable only of supplying "civilized" countries with oil, gas and other resources. What is the answer to Russophobes? How and what does Russia trade in addition to oil and gas?
Oil and gas fields can self-repair
In the early 1990s, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. As a result, a number of oil and gas fields, which were previously in long-term operation, were not developed for several years, while property issues were being resolved. At such fields, quite unexpectedly for scientists, replenishment of hydrocarbon reserves was discovered
Record growth in profits for bankers and oil and gas companies amid pension reform
The reform, designed to rob millions of people who should have reached retirement age, but as a result will not reach it, will bring only 200 to 300 billion rubles a year to the treasury. So, only Michelson's increase in six months more than covers the amounts that Siluanov, Medvedev and company are going to pump out of us
"Igor, back off, don't mess with them!" - "No, I'll pick them off"
A simple Russian peasant Igor Sapatov did not stand aside when the degenerates took away the land from his fellow villagers in order to build another mansion. All the rest apparently believed that their hut was on the edge. It's easy to guess what will happen to them now, after the murder of Igor
