Poligy GmbH, based in DĂĽsseldorf, is an innovative and rapidly growing company specializing in the development and application of revolutionary bipolymers. These patented materials enable the conversion of unused industrial waste heat into electrical energy, making a significant contribution to the energy transition and sustainable energy generation.
Poligy develops heat engines that operate based on bipolymers. These innovative materials behave similarly to bimetals, expanding and contracting differently when exposed to temperature, creating a strong bending effect. This effect is utilized to generate green and sustainable electricity from waste heat in the temperature range of 50 to 150°C[5].
The bipolymer modules are particularly cost-effective to manufacture and exhibit high temperature sensitivity with low wear. They are compatible with many other materials and can be produced in large quantities at low cost. Furthermore, the bipolymers are environmentally friendly and recyclable[1][4].
The mission of Poligy is to convert waste heat generated in many industrial processes into usable energy, thereby promoting renewable energy and sustainable growth. The company is passionately committed to developing solutions that increase energy efficiency in all energy-intensive processes, such as energy generation, chemical production, steel, and cement manufacturing[5].
Poligy aims for the widespread use of its bipolymers to utilize industrial waste heat and thereby reduce the COâ‚‚ footprint. In Germany alone, the use of industrial waste heat through Poligy's technology could save around 37 million tons of climate-damaging COâ‚‚ and five billion euros. This corresponds to about 4% of the total COâ‚‚ emissions in Germany in 2018[1].
The company targets various industries, including biogas, building materials, wood processing, food processing, geothermal energy, glass industry, metal industry, and the petrochemical industry. By converting waste heat into electrical energy, Poligy significantly contributes to reducing energy costs and minimizing environmental impacts[5].
Poligy continuously works on the further development and scaling of its technology. With the goal of further optimizing energy generation from waste heat, larger bipolymer modules are being developed, and partnerships in the plastics industry are being established. Poligy's innovative solution has the potential to significantly influence the global waste heat market, which is expected to grow to over 80 billion US dollars by 2025[1][4].
Through its groundbreaking technology and commitment to sustainable energy generation, Poligy positions itself as a key player in the energy transition and makes an important contribution to creating a more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient future.
