Redox develops distributed generation systems that will disrupt the way energy is delivered for commercial, industrial, and residential markets. With advanced solid oxide fuel cell technology inside every Redox product, the firm is able to drastically reduce the size, weight, and most importantly, the cost of reliable on-site generation of electricity while also providing high quality heat for combined heat and power (CHP) applications. The modular nature of Redox Powr Systems products lends itself to constructing systems with a broad range of power generation capacities and fuel options with initial systems working directly with natural gas or propane fuels. The first Redox Cube design is a 25 kW, natural gas fueled, stationary power system. With a size of roughly 35 cubic feet (1 cubic meter) and a weight under 1,000 lbs (450 kg), the Cube can be installed outdoors or indoors. The system takes advantage of the firm's proprietary lower temperature, higher power cells and stacks, as well as an innovative fuel processor. The Cube is designed with mass production in mind, using a modular approach whereby key components can be tailored and packaged to deliver desired power levels. Redox technology provides the breakthroughs needed to cost-effectively convert natural gas or propane into electricity with high efficiency and low emissions. The Cube is ideal for distributed generation and presents new opportunities for alternative energy sources in commercial, industrial, residential, and even demanding datacenter applications. With the addition of a heat recovery module, combined heat and power (CHP) operation can boost the Cubeâs total electrical and thermal efficiency in excess of 80% percent. While still a very young firm, Redox was part of an ARPA-E project with other partners being Microsoft
