Turning excess electricity into high-intensity focused ultrasound is an incredibly efficient way to provide the heat and pressure we need for our chemical reactions to take place
The world produces an abundance of waste -- 70 tons per day for just a small city. Valorizing waste streams through high energy, low cost sonication unlocks new sustainable value streams.
Using proprietary ultrasonic technology, Khepra can activate the thousands of megawatt hours of renewable electricity that are wasted every year and use it to upcycle plastics and agricultural wastes into high-value fuels and chemical products. This eliminates the need for ecosystem degradation through drilling, creates a portable energy source from fixed renewables, and addresses the trillions of tons of plastic waste that are taking over the planet.
