Turbines Reimagined.

Low Pressure Power. Clean, Cheap Energy.

Simple cycle gas turbines with high efficiency and low cost, a breakthrough in how the world generates power.

  • 40% Power Efficiency
  • <$1000/kW Projected Cost
  • Ultra Clean By Design
  • One Engine Multiplied Value

Clean and cheap power, from first principles.

With high pressures and temperatures, conventional turbines rely on complexities that introduce costs and challenges. Dugu takes a fundamentally different approach.

Our low pressures allow for simple materials and components that ensure reliability in both manufacturing and maintenance.

Further, the turbine breathes only oxygen and fuel, recirculating a high-purity CO₂ working fluid that can be cheaply captured for additional revenue.

One engine with multiple value streams.

Fuel Flexibility — Natural Gas, Field Gas, Propane, Biogas

Combusting oxygen at low pressure allows the turbine to leverage natural gas and a wide range of other gas products.

Low Pressure Power — Efficient, Low Cost Energy

Low pressures unlock simple materials and components to deliver high electrical and thermal efficiencies at low costs.

In-Combustion Capture — Oxy-Fueled, Low Cost CO₂

Fuel and oxygen create a high-purity CO₂ cycle that can be siphoned and sold to industrial or merchant customers.

For use in a wide range of industries.
