We develop innovative
thermo-electric generation modules to significantly reduce waste heat and promote sustainability
Advanced energy extraction
Our purpose
Convert every bit of waste heat into usable energy
At Thermo Power Systems, we not only save primary energy needs but also make a substantial impact on reducing carbon emissions.
As nearly 3/4 of all the energy produced by humanity is squandered as waste heat, representing a significant loss and missed opportunity, small and large corporates need to act.
With the global demand for energy projected to increase by nearly 30 percent by 2040, it is crucial for small and large corporates to:
1. Secure their energy sources
2. Protect themselves against rising prices
3. Reduce carbon-based energy consumption
4. Meet new sustainability standards

Potential applications
Heat extraction energy
Our technology enables manufacturers to extract excess heat up to 400°C from air or water ducts downstream of their industrial processes, without maintenance or flow modifications
Heat wave from industrial oven
Some industrial processes require a significant amount of energy, most of which is dissipated directly through the release of heat. This loss can be limited thanks to our technology, which converts heat into directly usable electricity
Autonomous sensors
On industrial sites, many parameters need to be measured to
ensure smooth operation and monitor productivity. Thanks to our technology,
sensors are maintenance-free and operate autonomously

Design
Our thermoelectric generation systems are optimized to maximize the conversion of heat to electricity at minimal cost. They are custom tailored for your application, based on your objectives, taking into account the nature and quality of the hot and cold sources, the space and operational constraints.
Production
Once checked and vetted after design review, the thermoelectric generation systems are manufactured, assembled, integrated and checked from A to Z in our facility located at the heart of Walloon Brabant.
Set-up
After factory tests, your energy harvesting system is installed by our team at your facility, minimizing impact with your operations. System validation is thoroughly performed during standard operation until final site acceptance test.

We are a BXVentures startup
BXVentures is watching and
reviewing many different technologies developed in university research teams
with the aim to identify and support potential game changers of industrial
decarbonization. The thermoelectric generators developed at UCLouvain for 10
years and used to convert wasted heat into electricity in industrial
environments fall in this category; contrary to competing solutions, the
optimized Fe2VAl material of UCLouvain is based only on largely available
and affordable constituents, with a local supply chain, which allows for
massive introduction and scalability of the system. Thanks to the support and
expertise of BXVentures, strong business development and industrialization
scenarios are put in place. This is exactly the type of acceleration that a
start-up like Thermo Power needs to achieve its goal of valorising every joule
of wasted heat !
