In its August 5, 2025 issue, VDI Nachrichten devoted a detailed article to ENERGY TOWERS. The article highlights our innovative process, which efficiently converts low-calorific waste heat into electricity with a predicted efficiency of over 25%.

The principle: buoyancy and gravity work hand in hand. A working body rises due to heat, is transferred to a drive chain in the upper area, and falls back down due to its weight. The resulting kinetic energy is converted into electrical power.

VDI Nachrichten sees this technology as a decisive step toward tapping previously unused energy sources and enabling a stable, sustainable power supply.
