Problem
Many regions rely on fossil‑fuel or intermittent renewable sources, leading to high carbon emissions, unreliable baseload power, and limited access to affordable clean electricity, especially in areas without suitable dam infrastructure.
Solution
Advanced Renewable Energy Corporation (ARECOR) develops large‑scale hydrokinetic and advanced pumped‑hydro technologies that generate baseload renewable electricity and provide energy storage without the need for dams. Its patented GEN‑III shallow‑river turbine achieves a record 1.22 power coefficient through a patented cowl design and operates with passive magnetic bearings, delivering maintenance‑free performance for up to 40 years. The turbine is fish‑friendly and ultra‑low impact, enabling power generation from zero‑head, fast‑flowing rivers. ARECOR also offers deep‑river GEN‑IV turbines for higher head applications, as well as integrated engineering, project development, and asset ownership services to deliver fully integrated clean‑energy projects.
Target Audience
Primary customers are utilities, independent power producers, and infrastructure developers seeking reliable, low‑cost baseload renewable power and storage for river‑based sites, as well as governments and communities requiring dam‑free clean energy solutions.
