Kinetic Emergy, LLC (2015 – Present)
Owner and Founder
The general philosophy of Kinetic Emergy is that the necessary revolution that must take
place in the world’s energy, manufacturing, agricultural and urban infrastructure can only
happen within new ecosystems of the best of the new technologies with the best of our
engineering and systems integration.
The analogy to these systems is the development over the past 80 years of today’s modern
refinery. Major unit operations (e.g., cat cracking, hydrotreating, reforming) in tightly
coupled systems that flex with regions, supplies and markets. And produce high octane
gasoline at a cost comparable to bottled water.
The approach is to initially model industrial scale technologies that are at least at early
stages of commercialization, as well as the possible performance of existing technologies
at larger scale and learning curve. There should be no science or devices yet to prove.
There should be no resources (e.g., minerals, land, carrying capacity) that will double in
cost at 1% penetration of the addressed global market. Cost projections based on detailed
technoeconomic modelling of verifiable performance parameters should be at parity with
at least 10% of global addressable market.
Several basic technologies that meet these criteria are:

All of these technologies will benefit greatly from very large scale corresponding to serving
energy markets. As will become apparent, there are synergies among these technologies
from capacity utilization, byproduct flows, heat/exergy optimization and system flexibility
tailored to markets and regional resource availability. They will all benefit greatly from
common infrastructure, logistics, workforce.
The mission for Kinetic Emergy is to create robust models of these and other major
technologies (e.g., DRI for steel, aeroponics/vertical greenhouses, urban scale combined
heat and power) that can be integrated together into systems models that can ignite the
vision and hone the reality of the regional scale infrastructure we have within reach.
