Compare Luca Technologies vs Vortex Hydro Energy
Customers evaluate the quality of Luca Technologies's products using the following success metrics.
Overview
Luca Technologies is 23 yrs old and is based in United States.
Luca Technologies is a next-generation energy company that uses biotechnology to create and sustainably produce natural gas. Luca's technology stimulates native microorganisms that reside in subsurface hydrocarbon deposits, such as coal, oil, and organic-rich shales, to accelerate the bioconversion of such resources into methane, the principal component of natural gas, which Luca produces and sells using existing infrastructure.
Vortex Hydro Energy is based in United States
Vortex Hydro Energy is a company that received a STTR Phase I grant for a project entitled: Havesting Hydrokinetic Energy Using Vortex Induced Vibration and Fish Biomimetics. Their project will transition an innovative 1-5 kW energy generating system from the University of Michigan (UM) Marine Renewable Energy Laboratory (MRELab) towards the commercial market place. The system is based on a system of cylinders that are made to oscillate by water currents at velocities as low as 1-2 knots (water turbines require 5-7 knots). It is through this mechanism that the converter harvests the hydrokinetic energy. This project, if successful, will yield a new means of harvesting energy from low velocity currents. Additionally, this system is believed to have fewer impacts on aquatic wildlife than turbine based systems.
