Benefit
450 °C clean air discharge
After the turbine, heat is still hot enough for drying, baking, district networks or a second cycle — not a cooling burden.

Beyond Net-Zero Carbon
Passionate about technology and our planet, we develop and deploy innovative, proven solutions that deliver real-world impact: Power generation from waste heat, steam systems and autonomous controls.
Why Bluebox Energy
Power first. Useful heat after.
Steam and ORC make electricity from waste heat, then leave a stream that is often too cool to reuse. We designed for the opposite: keep the heat working.
Benefit
No water circuit
Air in, power out. No boiler plant, no steam treatment, and far less sensitivity to hot ambient air than steam or ORC.
Benefit
One partner, plant to pad
Products, controls, thermodynamics, CAD, integration and commissioning — partnered development or a packaged solution.
Flexible engagement
Consulting & partnered development
Use our CAD, thermodynamics, controls and integration expertise for a defined task or a complete development programme.

Case study
Taylors Farm: bean roasting with BB-80
Woodtek pyrolysis, Bluebox power and heat management, and about 800 kW of process air at 210 °C — electricity and useful heat on one site.
The plant left the workshop in November 2025. It shows the model we build for: waste heat to grid power, with the exhaust still serving the process.

Sectors
Where high-grade heat already exists
Process heat
Biomass & drying
Furnaces, pyrolysis and dryers that still need heat after power — grain, baking, malthouses.
ApplicationsWaste-to-energy
Industrial CHP
Waste wood, district heat and sites that want kilowatts without killing the thermal duty.
ApplicationsHorizon 2020
Concentrated solar
Modular towers without the cooling and water burden of steam CSP.
