“The technology converts gas into electricity at an efficiency greater than the average efficiency of the US power grid. Simultaneously the excess heat is used for providing domestic hot water and/or space heating. The overall system efficiency is over 90%, meaning that only a very small amount of heat escapes the home, making the TAPS™ very environmentally friendly compared to current heating and electricity solutions.”
I heard about this as one result of an effort to increase the use of Federal Laboratory technologies and expertise by the private sector – this product was developed with energy-conversion experts at NASA who do this kind of thing to power space objects.
