Technology & Products
Key Products
A400 400kW Gas Turbine Package (electrical efficiency >40%); A800 800kW Gas Turbine Package; Combined Heat & Power (CHP) solutions; Fuel-flexible turbines compatible with natural gas, hydrogen (up to 70%+), biogas, syngas, flare gas
Technological Advantage
35+ years of research heritage from LUT University (Finland) and DLR (German Aerospace Center); intercooled, recuperated two-spool (IRG2) gas turbine architecture; digital controls for real-time monitoring; CHP-ready thermal integration.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
World's most efficient small gas turbines with >40% electrical efficiency, fuel flexibility (hydrogen, biogas, natural gas), zero lube oil (active magnetic bearings), >98% system availability, and modular design for distributed energy generation.
How They Differentiate
Radial inflow design (vs. axial in competitors) for higher efficiency at small scale; active magnetic bearings eliminating lube oil; fuel flexibility without hardware changes; modular construction enabling local integrator/distributor model; 40%+ electrical efficiency in sub-5MW class.
