Gore solutions are at the forefront of technical advancement in the energy production industry. Products include filtration devices for demanding trash-to-steam energy production, membranes and electrodes for energy storage in batteries and capacitors, sensors for non-invasive geochemical hydrocarbon prospecting, and membranes for superior fuel cell performance.
The remarkable versatility of membrane technologies from Gore is apparent in the range of products for energy applications.
Fuel cells utilize Gore's membrane electrode assemblies, the material necessary to facilitate the electrochemical conversion of hydrogen to electrical energy. Gore's technologically advanced portfolio of MEA products currently is powering a variety of fuel cell systems in stationary, portable and transportation applications.
A separate Gore technology is helping to power hybrids, the next generation of automobiles, trucks, trains and buses. Gore offers the most advanced membrane assemblies available for the electrochemical capacitors used in hybrid vehicles.
Gore Surveys help to guide oil and gas exploration by detecting subsurface emanations typical of oil and gas reservoirs. This is the most accurate, comprehensive and cost-effective soil gas sampling technology available on the exploration market today. It reduces the risk of drilling dry wells in the search for hydrocarbon deposits in the subsurface. Gore also provides Geophysical Seismic and Marine Cables for demanding environments, such as geophysical seismic surveying. These cable solutions provide superior performance and reliability for underwater applications.
For the past 25 years, GORE® filter bags have achieved near-zero emissions of particulate matter in industrial boilers and incinerators. As the leader in filter media for control of fine particulate, Gore products achieve consistently high airflow over the life of the filter bag, resulting in increased steam production or waste processing. Waste-to-energy incineration plants benefit from the GORE® REMEDIA® Catalytic Filtration System, which converts dioxins and furans into harmless components, thus reducing emissions.
