Business Wire
Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE: HYLN) ("Hyliion"), a
developer of sustainable electricity-producing technology, has been
awarded a $15+ million contract by the Office of Naval
Research (ONR) to develop its groundbreaking KARNOTM generator
for Navy ships and stationary power applications.
Upon successful validation and demonstration, the Hyliion KARNO
generator could be used as a power system in future platforms,
providing US Naval operations with scalability and flexibility
while significantly reducing maintenance, emissions, and fuel
consumption.
"At Hyliion, we are dedicated to delivering innovative power
generation solutions that prioritize our customers' need for
efficiency and reliability,” said Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of
Hyliion. "This new partnership with the ONR is a testament to the
performance and potential of our KARNO generator technology. We're
incredibly proud to contribute to the future of the US military and
help them achieve their power generation goals."
The KARNO generator is an innovative linear generation system
powered by heat and enabled by 3D metal printing. Its hermetically
sealed architecture, with only one moving part per shaft, is
designed for maintenance-free operation over long running hours.
The generator’s efficiency, low maintenance, and quiet operation
make it ideal for powering naval vessels.
This contract aligns perfectly with the ONR's strategic
objective to leverage advanced technology for reducing carbon
footprint and enhancing operational efficiency. The KARNO generator
is highly versatile, providing adaptable power solutions to meet
the unique demands of US Naval operations in maritime environments.
Similarly, with its flexibility and form factor, the KARNO
generator can potentially meet additional US Defense needs for
reliable power in stationary applications without compromising on
economics and emissions footprint.
