The unreliability of green energy production
Renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, need to be available even when the wind is not blowing, or the sun is not shining.
About
TEXEL Energy is an innovative clean energy technology company (cleantech) with Swedish origins, committed to accelerating the global transition away from fossil fuels. The company focuses on developing and commercializing true-green, modular, and circular energy solutions to address the world’s most pressing energy challenges.
While energy storage remains TEXEL’s core focus, the company’s patented technology has evolved to include the conversion and utilization of all forms of thermal waste—either by storing it or converting it directly into electricity. This approach aligns with TEXEL’s broader mission: to reduce energy waste and contribute to a more sustainable world by helping to end the overconsumption of our planet’s natural resources.
Thermal Waste
TEXEL’s patented Stirling technology converts waste heat from sources such as industrial processes, landfills, and other flare gas sources into clean electricity—helping to end the ongoing waste of our planet’s resources. Unlike conventional systems, TEXEL efficiently utilizes even low-quality gases by harnessing their thermal energy, providing a scalable, off-grid solution for energy recovery. This innovation not only reduces environmental impact but also unlocks valuable power from energy sources that would otherwise be lost.
Challenges in Energy
The harmful consequences of our reliance on fossil fuels are now indisputable—scientific data and real-world evidence clearly show the profound threats to our climate, biodiversity, and both national and global security. It is critical that we accelerate the transition to cost-effective, scalable, sustainable, and circular energy alternatives to halt the depletion of our planet’s resources.
However, this transition must be approached with care. We must avoid introducing new technologies that, while green in appearance, continue to exploit and harm the planet. A truly sustainable energy future cannot depend on the large-scale consumption of rare earth minerals—under no circumstances can we allow these finite and often destructively mined resources to become the foundation of our green transition.
Robust green energy solutions must ensure a reliable supply of power—day or night, in any weather—without creating new environmental burdens.
The unblance between production and demand of green energy
Peak production of green energy occurs during midday, while the highest demand of energy occurs in the afternoon and evening.
Energy production depending on fossil fuels
Today the energy systems are largely reliant on fossil fuels, leading to great vulnerability and enormous environmental impact.
Making energy solutions available
TEXEL is reshaping the future of energy by delivering innovative, sustainable, and accessible solutions. Our advanced technologies provide cost-effective and environmentally responsible alternatives for energy production and distribution—offering a range of critical benefits, outlined below.
Combined Technologies
Throughout the development of TEXEL and its various technological solutions, the central theme has been energy, with a focus on thermal energy and the capability to convert this into electricity. This has opened up a vast array of potential business areas for the company. There is a constant effort to evaluate these opportunities, which include energy storage from heat to heat, energy storage from heat to a combination of heat and electricity (CHP), combustion and conversion to heat and electricity of various biofuels, wood pellets, wood chips, and waste gases, as well as the conversion of industrial waste heat into energy.
Energy Storage
TEXEL's Energy Storage technology is being developed with scalability and near-complete recyclability in mind. It is designed to operate without consuming Earth's precious resources or rare earth minerals. Our system is distinguished by its minimal cyclic degradation, capable of storing energy for centuries with negligible losses. As a result, it meets not only today's energy storage needs but also acts as a safeguard for the long-term availability of minerals. This establishes TEXEL's solution as a strategic investment for the future, moving beyond traditional costs and the perpetual demand for supply.
STIRLING Technology
TEXEL has established itself as a global frontrunner in the realm of Stirling technology. Renowned for its scalability, this technology adeptly converts heat into electricity with high energy efficiency. It serves as a versatile solution in numerous applications, propelling the ongoing energy transition. Particularly in areas bereft of existing technological solutions, TEXEL's Stirling technology is paving the way for a sustainable future.
Thermal Waste
TEXEL’s patented Stirling technology converts waste heat from sources such as industrial processes, landfills, and other flare gas sources into clean electricity—helping to end the ongoing waste of our planet’s resources. Unlike conventional systems, TEXEL efficiently utilizes even low-quality gases by harnessing their thermal energy, providing a scalable, off-grid solution for energy recovery. This innovation not only reduces environmental impact but also unlocks valuable power from energy sources that would otherwise be lost.
Global cooperation
TEXEL Energy was founded in Sweden but is built on global cooperation that extends across Europe, the USA, and Australia. New game-changing technology demands collaboration with the best in each specific field.
Collaborations and Acquisitions:
TEXEL was originally founded through the acquisition of the rights to a unique Stirling engine technology, initially developed by Ford Motors in collaboration with the military submarine manufacturer Kockums. This acquisition became the cornerstone of TEXEL’s innovative energy approach.
Soon after, TEXEL expanded its technological capabilities by acquiring Stirling Energy Systems and Maricopa Solar in Arizona. These acquisitions led to a productive collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Laboratory, SANDIA National Laboratories.
Building on these strategic foundations, TEXEL went on to form an exclusive collaboration with the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) and Curtin University in Perth, Australia. The company’s development strategy has also included the acquisition of key assets from two Nasdaq-listed companies, further strengthening TEXEL’s position in the sustainable energy space and aligning with its long-term mission to deliver scalable, circular, and truly green energy solutions.
Giga-Volume Production Required
TEXEL Energy is gearing up for large-scale production to meet the immense market demand driven by the global energy transition. The mass production of systems necessitates the mass production of components, making collaborations with key suppliers essential. In 2023, TEXEL acquired the assets of the Nasdaq-listed tech company Swedish Stirling, gaining valuable intellectual and physical assets, along with a production capacity of approximately 10,000 engines (300MW) per year. The primary focus now is to establish this industrial capacity in the U.S., followed by expansion into Europe, with plans to scale up production to Giga-Volumes.
Behind the Innovation
The concept and business model to create the TEXEL technology is built on global co-operation by bringing together the most experienced people, laboratories and companies in the world. The development and operation are supervised by the TEXEL team in Sweden, United States and United Kingdom.
TEXEL Company Group Structure
Over the years, with the aim of creating the optimal conditions to achieve the company’s objectives, which include R&D collaborations, financing, industrialization, and commercialization, TEXEL has developed a legal structure with corporate establishments in Sweden, the UK, and the USA.
