Clean Tech
Muda, Mura, Muri
For forty years, manufacturers learned to eliminate the three sources of waste: Muda, unproductive activities; Mura, variance and inconsistency; Muri, overburdened and absurd workflows.
When we look at our power markets, we see sources of waste everywhere. Transmission line losses, unstable and overburdened distribution systems, overly complex tariff structures, centralized generation and control systems, leaky faucets, uneven government incentives, opaque utility bills, not to mention the winking or unblinking LEDs we see on our appliances when thinking about this waste keeps us up at night.
We invest in products and services to eliminate this waste because we know efficiency will save power users money. As one example, distributed power generation devices, such as ClearEdge Power’s CE5, generate heat and electricity on-demand where the power is needed, eliminating transmission losses or even the need for the transmission lines themselves. There’s no need to manage a complex system. With better than 80% efficiency in converting fuel to usable energy, ClearEdge’s CE5 reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 45% and uses 37% less fuel than existing alternatives. Eliminating all this waste saves CE5 owners up to 50% on their electricity bills.
