Energy technology for the connected future
Flowgroup is an AIM listed company founded in 2006. It s made up of three parts. group battery Competitively-priced home energy supply Award-winning compressed air backup power products Game-changing microchp technology platform
We have merged Flow Energy and Flow Products to create a new kind of energy technology company
And Flow offers the clever alternative: the world s 1st affordable microchp boiler
MicroCHP technology has always been expensive. Until now. + 3,000 20,000 Cost of existing MicroCHP technology + 1,750 + 500 Current cost of Flow boiler Projected cost of Flow boiler Cost of high quality standard boiler
The Flow boiler is a genuine worlds first. It s a British designed and manufactured product. It will create thousands of high value British jobs. It will change the future of energy forever. And return significant value for shareholders.
When it comes to generation We know this isn t the answer We know renewables are intermittent and unpredictable We need technology that allows us to use natural gas more efficiently as we transition to renewables
That s exactly what the Flow boiler does. It generates low cost, low carbon electricity in the home using gas very efficiently Flue out Scroll is driven Fuel burns in the combustion chamber Electricity out Hot water out Natural gas or LPG goes in Heating System Return
The Flow boiler uses gas much more efficiently than central generation 1kW of energy in Approx. 30% fuel conversion efficiency 1kW of energy in Approx. 90% fuel conversion efficiency
Generating electricity on a local level with the Flow boiler brings a whole host of benefits. Benefit #1 Reduces customer bills 200 saving per annum long term
Benefit #2 Reduces household emissions Saves up to 1000kg of CO 2 per household (about 20%)
Benefit #3 The Flow boiler s generation curve matches peak demand unlike other microgeneration technologies Peak demand Flow boiler Solar 12:00 13:00 14:00 15:00 16:00 17:00 18:00 19:00 20:00
Benefit #4 The Flow boiler reduces the need for new central generation Fewer large, central, dirty power stations. Instead, millions of small, clean, efficient ones Every 500,000 Flow boilers is equivalent to one large central power station
Benefit #5 Allows the creation of a new type of company Old model New model Technology + Innovation + New business models + Genuine benefits for consumers + Real benefits for society
Our innovative business model helps us enter a mature UK market Suitable customers sign a finance agreement for the cost of the boiler. And switch their home energy to Flow for five years. NOTHING TO PAY We match the finance payments for the boiler with reductions in the customer s energy bill for five years, until the cost of the boiler is paid off. We can do this because of the value of the electricity the boiler generates, plus the FiT. At the end of the five years, we share the generation and the FiT with the customer. And from the word go the customer s carbon footprint is significantly reduced.
Other business models and new products will allow us to expand globally Global heating market values 2012
The potential of the Flow boiler is not just confined to the heating market.
