About FlexEnergy:

FlexEnergy (www.flexenergy.com) is committed to providing systems to utilize existing, unconventional energy sources to create new, sustainable solutions. Flex technology has taken one of the world's largest sources of greenhouse gases and transformed it into an energy source for the clean generation of electricity, offering energy recovery where it was previously impossible.

Three hundred million tons of methane escapes into the atmosphere each year, most too dilute for current technology to destroy. The FlexPower station converts gases with even low concentrations of methane to clean, renewable energy. Unlike other technologies, the FlexPower station creates electricity with almost no NOx or CO emissions, providing a breakthrough solution for landfills, coalmines and manufacturers helping to ensure compliance with emissions regulations.
