PERS (Accelerator)

Company Description: PERS was born from the vision of 2 PhD students and an industrial designer, which also happened to be good friends. We imagined a world where the waste energy of a process is recovered and reused, therefore improving energy efficiency. In other words, PERS aims to design, develop and commercialise energy recovery devices. Within the transition to a fully sustainable economy, energy recovery plays a crucial role, since it allows to reuse energy that would otherwise be released into the environment in form of waste heat. This allows the reduction of CO2 and pollutant emissions, in addition to the reduction of energy demand and costs. Our first device, the PERS, aims to recover energy from pressurised liquids, such as the oil of forklifts hydraulic system, store this energy in dedicated supercapacitors, to reuse it during normal operating conditions.
