Advanced Hybrid Distributed Energy Resource (AHDER) System
A patented distributed energy platform designed to provide clean electric power with near-zero emissions through the integration of dispatchable generation, battery storage, emissions control, carbon capture, and flexible power delivery.
Our Vision: A Closed Carbon Loop for Fossil Fuels
Industrial-scale photosynthesis, powered by renewable energy
Conventional fossil-fuel power plants release harmful emissions, including CO2, into our environment. Our vision is to close the loop: control the pollutants, capture the CO2, and convert it back into fuel. Each of these steps already works at industrial scale. What has held the loop back is energy. Capturing one kilogram of CO2 from the air takes about 2.5 kWh, and converting it into methane takes about 10 kWh more. Yet that methane holds only about 5 kWh, and a conventional power plant then loses about 60% of it as waste heat.
The AHDER System is designed, first and foremost, to recover that waste heat. A conventional gas power plant turns only about 40% of its fuel energy into electricity. AHDER puts the rest to work at three temperature levels: generating secondary electricity, producing chilled water and driving CO2 capture. That raises total energy utilization to about 90%. Natural gas goes in; electricity, cooling, CO2 products and clean water come out, adding four revenue streams that lower the plant's total cost of ownership. The captured CO2 can be sold as an industrial product or traded as carbon credits.
The next step is to build CO2 conversion plants in remote regions where abundant renewable energy, such as solar and wind, is freely available. There, that power works with AHDER to turn the captured carbon back into fuel, without the slow and costly build-out of long-distance transmission lines. The result is a truly closed carbon loop that is eco-restorative and cost-effective. It works like industrial-scale photosynthesis: the same carbon cycles again and again, powered by renewable energy.
How the AHDER System Works
AHDER integrates nine coordinated subsystems into a single patented, high-efficiency architecture. Every subsystem is proven commercial equipment at Technology Readiness Level 9, so no new core hardware needs to be invented. The innovation is how the pieces are connected and managed together.
- Main Control Center (MCC): AI-driven, centralized control of the entire plant.
- Fuel Power Generator System (FPGS): the primary, dispatchable power source.
- Emission Control System (ECS): selective catalytic reduction that keeps NOx below 9 ppm.
- Combined Heat and Power (CHP) System: recovers waste heat to generate secondary electricity.
- Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (CCHP) System: turns recovered waste heat into chilled water for cooling.
- Battery Energy Storage System (BESS): a power and energy buffer that stabilizes the whole system.
- CO2 Capture System (CCS): separates, purifies and liquefies CO2 as a salable product, using recovered heat rather than extra electricity.
- Water Recovery and Adsorption Cooling (WRAC) System: recovers clean water and low-grade waste heat for additional cooling.
- Power Application System (PAS): a high-voltage AC/DC power hub that delivers clean electricity to users.
Working together, these subsystems recover waste heat at three temperature levels, so a single fuel input yields electricity, cooling, CO2 products and clean water. AHDER can run independently as an off-grid clean power source. It can also connect to the grid to stabilize supply and lower electricity costs, or pair with solar and wind microgrids to keep them reliable while maximizing cost savings. It serves AI data centers, EV charging hubs, and commercial, industrial and residential facilities. The 10 MW design scales up to gigawatt level with similar performance.
Designed for Efficiency and Environmental Performance
AHDER produces clean electricity from natural gas and other hydrocarbon fuels while putting about 90% of the fuel's energy to use, counting electricity plus useful heat. A conventional gas power plant uses only about 40%. In a 10 MW plant, the recovered heat adds about 1.35 MW of secondary electricity at no extra fuel cost, plus about 7 MW of cooling.
Selective catalytic reduction keeps NOx emissions below 9 ppm, supporting compliance with strict air-quality requirements. About 90% of the CO2 is captured using recovered heat, with no electrical penalty. It is then purified and liquefied as a salable product or traded as carbon credits. Water recovered from the exhaust makes the plant a net producer of clean water. When paired with a data center, AHDER can lower its PUE to 1.05–1.10 and bring its water use (WUE) close to zero.
Built for Modern Energy Demands
Why AHDER?
AHDER is more than a power plant. It is a clean energy asset that creates value on five fronts:
- Breaks the impossible triangle: reliable, affordable and clean power, delivered at the same time from one gas-fired platform.
- Industry-leading utilization: about 90% total energy utilization (electricity plus useful heat), with about 90% of the CO2 captured at no electrical penalty.
- Built for AI data centers: power, chilled water and makeup water delivered behind the meter. That means a PUE of 1.05–1.10, an equipment footprint roughly 4–5 times smaller than the data center it powers, and no wait in the grid interconnection queue.
- Bankable economics: nine revenue streams. For the 10 MW plant, projected Year 1 revenue is .52 million, 20-year NPV is +.2 million and the after-tax IRR is 17.1%. These figures count the federal 45Q credit at per ton for its 12-year statutory period only.
- Patented and deployment-ready: U.S. Patent 12,633,752 B1, built entirely from proven TRL-9 equipment. Apollo Investments is seeking a partner to build the 10 MW demonstration plant.
