Ecogen Technologies integrates a suite of complementary clean energy technologies to deliver comprehensive solutions. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we carefully select and combine technologies to suit each project’s unique needs – whether it’s powering a hospital, a whole town, or a fleet of vehicles. Below are the core technologies and systems we specialise in:
The Ecogen Pod is our signature modular, off-grid energy generator – essentially a “micro power station in a container.” Each Pod is a self-contained unit that uses 100% sustainable energy sources (like solar and battery storage) to produce clean electricity. Housed in a shipping container form factor, it’s rugged, transportable, and quick to deploy.
Key FeaturesEach Pod comes equipped with high-efficiency solar panels (often deployable or mounted on the container) and an array of lithium battery packs for energy storage. It includes an inverter and smart control system, so it can seamlessly supply AC power for common usage.
Deployment can be done in hours. The Pod can be shipped to a site by truck and simply connected to a local distribution board or mini-grid. It requires minimal site preparation – no elaborate construction or existing grid needed. This makes it ideal for remote communities, emergency relief operations, construction sites, or events.
Pods can operate alone or as a network. For higher power needs, multiple Pods can be linked (daisy-chained) to function as a larger microgrid. We can customize the Pod’s capacity (e.g., more batteries for longer autonomy, or a wind turbine add-on in windy areas) based on client requirements.
We have designed the Ecogen Pod to support diverse industries – from providing backup power at a hospital, to powering irrigation systems on a farm, to giving retailers a way to cut peak energy costs. For example, emergency services can use Pods to restore power quickly after natural disasters, and remote villages can deploy a Pod instead of waiting for grid extension, achieving instant electrification.
By using only renewable inputs (sunshine, and optionally wind or other renewables), the Ecogen Pod helps clients reduce diesel generator use and eliminate fuel costs and emissions. It promotes energy independence and resiliency – if the main grid fails, the Pod keeps critical loads running. Moreover, the Pod’s mobility means it’s a future-proof asset: it can be relocated or redeployed as needs change, avoiding stranded infrastructure.
The Ecogen Pod delivers clean, dependable power wherever it’s needed — without the cost, complexity, or carbon footprint of traditional generators. Its modular, plug-and-play design allows for rapid deployment in even the most remote locations, enabling instant electrification with minimal setup. Whether powering a hospital, farm, relief effort, or rural village, the Pod offers unmatched flexibility and scalability. Clients benefit from drastically reduced fuel costs, zero emissions, and improved energy resilience, with the ability to scale or relocate their system as needs evolve. By eliminating reliance on diesel and grid infrastructure, the Ecogen Pod supports energy independence while accelerating the global shift to sustainable power.
Waste-to-Energy (WTE) technology turns municipal and industrial waste into useful energy – essentially extracting value from trash while reducing environmental burdens. Ecogen’s WTE solution is an integrated 3-in-One system that combines multiple processes to handle waste comprehensively. Our approach not only generates electricity from waste, but also addresses by-products like fly ash and non-combustible residues in a sustainable way.
Key Features & ProcessesWe employ advanced thermal treatment of waste. Sorted municipal solid waste is either directly incinerated in a controlled environment or converted to syngas through gasification. The heat released is used to produce steam and drive turbines to generate electricity. A single facility can process over 1,500 tonnes of waste per day, generating significant power for the grid. This greatly cuts down the volume of waste – what would have gone to landfills is reduced by up to 95% in volume.
The electricity generated by WTE can power thousands of homes or feed into industrial facilities. In some designs, we also capture waste heat for cogeneration or district heating, improving overall efficiency. By producing power locally from waste, cities can reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and imported energy.
Traditional incineration leaves behind fly ash, which can be toxic. Ecogen integrates vitrification and chemical stabilization technologies to safely treat fly ash. Through high-temperature melting and additives, we transform ash into an inert, glass-like material that can be repurposed (for example, as a construction aggregate or bricks). This means even the hazardous by-products are neutralized and given a second life, instead of becoming a disposal problem.
Our WTE approach goes beyond just burning trash. We include pyrolysis units specifically for waste streams like plastics, rubber tyres, and sewage sludge. Pyrolysis heats these materials in the absence of oxygen, breaking them down into valuable products: fuel oils, synthetic gas, and carbon char/black. The pyrolysis oil can be used as an industrial fuel or even refined further, and the syngas produced can be captured to generate additional electricity on-site. This essentially turns troublesome waste (like non-recyclable plastics) into revenue-generating commodities, contributing to a circular economy.
We design WTE plants with state-of-the-art emissions control systems – including flue gas scrubbers, filters, and continuous emissions monitoring – to ensure clean operations that meet international standards. This addresses concerns about air pollution, making our facilities neighborhood-friendly and compliant with strict environmental regulations.
Our integrated WTE systems help cities tackle multiple challenges simultaneously. They shrink the waste going to landfills by up to 95%, alleviating the pressure on land and mitigating methane emissions from decomposing garbage. They generate renewable electricity (since waste is considered a renewable biomass source under many standards), contributing to energy supply and grid stability. They also create jobs and local industry – from plant operators to material recovery and by-product processing. By producing construction materials from ash and fuel from plastics, we enable new business streams and reduce the need to import those materials. Overall, Ecogen’s WTE technology turns an environmental liability into an economic asset, aligning with both sustainability goals and development objectives for communities.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are crucial for any modern renewable energy setup. They store excess power (for example, solar energy captured during midday or wind energy at night) and release it when needed, enabling a steady 24/7 power supply from intermittent sources. Ecogen specializes in integrating BESS into microgrids – self-contained energy networks that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main grid. We deploy BESS ranging from small units (a few kWh in an Ecogen Pod) to utility-scale installations (tens of MWh, like at large solar farms or hospitals).
Key FeaturesIn regions with unstable grid power or critical facilities that cannot afford outages (hospitals, data centers), our BESS solutions provide instant backup.
BESS allows solar and wind systems to effectively match supply with demand. During a sunny day, solar panels may generate more power than consumed; the BESS stores this surplus instead of curtailing it. Then during the evening or a cloudy spell, the stored energy is used, greatly increasing the utilization of renewable generation.
We utilize lithium-ion battery technology for most projects due to its high efficiency and dropping costs, but we are technology-agnostic and continuously evaluate new storage solutions (such as flow batteries for long-duration storage or ultra-capacitors for specific high-power needs). Our BESS units are containerised for fast deployment and come with active cooling and fire suppression for safety. We also implement battery management systems (BMS) that optimize charging/discharging to extend battery life.
A standout aspect of Ecogen’s BESS deployments is the intelligent control system layered on top. We deploy AI-driven energy management software (developed in collaboration with research partners like Siemens-Swinburne Energy Transition Hub) to forecast demand and renewable production, and to make real-time decisions on energy dispatch. This results in a smart microgrid that can automatically switch between solar, battery, and grid as needed, or even perform demand response (adjusting loads to balance the system). Such smart microgrids optimise efficiency and can operate in island mode (disconnected from the main grid) during outages, which is crucial for facilities like hospitals.
Our approach to BESS is modular – need more capacity? We can add more battery modules without redesigning the whole system. For instance, an initial 5 MWh installation could be expanded to 10 MWh as the needs grow. This protects our clients’ investments and allows for phased growth.
Incorporating BESS and microgrid controls into projects yields a host of benefits: grid independence and resilience, improved power quality (voltage and frequency regulation), and cost savings by peak shaving and reducing generator fuel use. Environmentally, storage enables a higher percentage of renewable penetration, thereby reducing reliance on diesel or coal backup. In our projects, we have seen that a well-sized BESS can enable 80%+ of a facility’s energy to come from renewable sources, with the remaining being minimal backup. Moreover, microgrids with storage can provide power to remote areas faster than waiting for grid extension, accelerating rural electrification in a sustainable way. Ecogen’s expertise in this area means we can confidently design systems from a single building scale (e.g. a rural health clinic with solar + batteries) up to township scale (multi-megawatt systems covering an entire campus or island). We ensure seamless integration with both the technical hardware and the regulatory framework (such as negotiating grid interconnection agreements or energy tariffs beneficial to battery storage use).
In line with our sustainable ecosystem approach, Ecogen extends its expertise to the transportation sector, promoting the shift from fossil-fueled vehicles to electric mobility. We are involved in building the infrastructure (like charging stations and battery swap networks) and in designing programs that help replace conventional vehicles with electric ones. Our focus includes light vehicles (e.g., three-wheelers and cars), public transport (e.g., jeepneys and buses), and even service fleets.
Key Initiatives & TechnologiesWe are pioneering a program to convert the ubiquitous tuk-tuks (three-wheeled taxis) from gasoline to electric. This involves retrofitting existing vehicles with electric drivetrains or providing incentives for new e-tuk-tuks. A major innovation in our approach is the use of hot-swappable battery technology. Drivers can quickly exchange a depleted battery for a charged one at swap stations, instead of waiting to charge – solving the downtime issue and making electric tuk-tuks efficient for continuous commercial use. We aim to roll out battery swap stations across urban centers, each powered by solar panels and backed by battery storage so that the swapping service is itself running on clean energy. Along with this, we’re deploying an IoT-based fleet management system that helps track battery health, manage rentals/transactions, and optimize the distribution of batteries to where they’re needed. The program’s goal is to convert up to 15,000 tuk-tuks over the next 5–10 years, significantly cutting urban air pollution and improving livelihoods by lowering fuel costs for drivers.
Ecogen is developing a network of EV charging stations to support the growing adoption of electric cars, buses, and other vehicles. For example, we are collaborating on plans for ultra-fast charging hubs for electric jeepneys (the iconic minibuses used for public transport). These would use high-capacity chargers (300–600 kW “hyper chargers”) capable of rapidly charging multiple vehicles, minimizing downtime for transit fleets. Our charging station designs incorporate features like smart billing systems, remote monitoring, and even vehicle-to-grid readiness (allowing EVs to feedback power to the grid if needed). All chargers are intended to be supplied by renewable energy, either via on-site solar canopies or via our renewable energy projects feeding the grid, ensuring the transportation is truly emissions-free at the source.
We also explore heavy-duty applications – for instance, providing large battery storage at bus depots or along highways to enable quick charging without straining the local grid. One such concept is deploying a containerized BESS at a strategic location to serve as a buffer: it charges slowly from the grid (or solar farm) and then dispenses fast charges to vehicles on-demand. This model is considered in a project to support a 100 MW solar farm with a storage system, where some of the energy could directly facilitate charging infrastructure for regional transportation.
Recognising the scope of electrifying transport, Ecogen partners with governments and OEMs. We work on policy advocacy (for example, helping shape incentive programs for EV adoption, or standards for charging connectors). We also coordinate with vehicle manufacturers and local startups for the supply of conversion kits and new EVs. Our holistic approach ensures that the ecosystem (vehicles, charging, energy supply, and user behaviour) is developed in unison.
Electric mobility yields enormous benefits for sustainability and urban living: zero tailpipe emissions mean improved air quality and public health; lower operating costs for drivers (electric “fuel” is cheaper than gasoline and has less price volatility); and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, especially when paired with renewable energy. Ecogen’s EV initiatives are designed to maximise these benefits. By ensuring the electrons driving these vehicles are green (through solar-powered stations), we create a fully clean transportation loop. Our battery swapping model tackles a common barrier – charging time – making EVs more practical for commercial use. Additionally, these projects create new economic opportunities: local assembly of conversion kits, jobs for charging station operation and maintenance, and upskilling mechanics to handle EVs. Ultimately, by linking the power sector and transport sector, Ecogen helps to decarbonise two major contributors to emissions with a unified strategy.
