"Whoever owns the new sources of energy will own the future economy." ^[1]

We use a proprietary technology to convert industrial customer "wastes" into electricity. This provides our customers with a substantial cost savings and competitive advantage.

Pilus Energy is developing the transformative technology in the Pilus Cell™. This is a cleantech bioreactor that harnesses genetically enhanced bacteria and harvests the direct current (DC) electricity, hydrogen gas, and water from their metabolism (cellular respiration) of organic molecules.

Why?

Because our energy supply is in turmoil. The lack of clean water is a crisis.

Ecosystems and public health are at risk. At risk from mining and drilling - at risk from pollutants and poisons - and we are at risk of resulting economic loss and higher product costs.

As our populations and economies expand, the demand for clean energy and water grows.

Pilus Energy's interdisciplinary team has a sense of urgency to provide a profitable energy generating solution. By extracting energy from organic compounds, adopters of our technology will generate revenues while reducing global risks.
