STG has developed a better solution: a miniaturized solar thermal power plant using low cost solar collectors and a novel ORC engine that can provide clean electricity and hot water at a fraction of the cost of competing systems.

Precision Slip is a novel drag reducing technology that decreases the energy needed to propel a ship through the water. This means cost savings and lower emissions from reduced fuel consumption, and increased speed and range. They have peer reviewed published results and are developing a prototype for large scale testing in realistic operating conditions.
