INVESTOR RELATIONS
A category-creating opportunity in portable LNG power, anchored by 20+ years of cryogenic IP and a signed strategic partnership with Hitachi.
Investment Thesis — Why NexGen, Why Now
No one else has commercialized LNG cold energy for portable power. The team that built 450+ cryogenic pumps for 60 countries is doing it now, with Hitachi behind the generator and Honeywell behind the turbine.
The Three-Part Investment Thesis
- 17. Massive addressable market: $7–14B in off-grid power generation (Permian, data centers, mining) growing 8–12% annually, plus $70B+ over 10 years in railroad replacement
- 18. Defensible moat: Nine patent applications covering core cryo-ORC and railroad propulsion; the only team in the world with 20+ years cryogenic pump and turbine experience and a signed Hitachi MOU
- 19. Inflection-point timing: Grid interconnection queues, ESG pressure on diesel, and LNG fuel availability all hit simultaneously — and no incumbent has the cryogenic expertise to compete on efficiency
Unit Economics Snapshot
- Production CAPEX: $3.8M per CD5 unit at scale
- Sale price: $3,500–4,000/kW installed ($14M–$16M for CD5-3200; $35M–$40M for CD5-8000)
- Gross margin per unit: $20M+ at production volume
- Customer payback: <6 months vs. diesel; 24–36 months vs. grid power

Primary Market: Off-Grid Power
| Segment | Addressable Sites | Avg Revenue/Unit | TAM |
| Permian Basin E&P | 500–1,000 | $4M | $2–4B |
| Data centers (BTM) | 200–500 | $15M (multi-unit) | $3–7.5B |
| Mining & remote industrial | 300–500 | $5M | $1.5–2.5B |
| Railroad (10-year fleet refresh) | 2,100/year | $3M | $6.3B/year |
| Total | — | — | $7–14B + $70B rail |
Why The Market Is Inflecting Now
- Diesel cost & ESG: Permian operators under pressure to eliminate diesel and stop flaring
- Grid queues: 3–5 year interconnection delays force data center developers to on-site generation
- LNG availability: Small-scale LNG infrastructure (wellhead liquefaction, ISO tank delivery) now widely deployed
- Locomotive replacement cycle: ~2,100 units/year hitting end-of-life across Class I fleets

Why We Win on Efficiency
| Competitor | Efficiency | Our Advantage |
| Caterpillar Gas Gensets | 38–44% | 40% less fuel per kWh |
| Wärtsilä Gas Engines | 42–50% | No equivalent cold-energy recovery |
| Solar Turbines (Caterpillar) | 28–38% | Nearly double simple-cycle efficiency |
| Siemens Energy SGT | 33–42% | Same turbine class + cryo-ORC step change |
| Turboden ORC | 18–24% ORC η | 28% ORC η from LNG cold sink |
| NET Power oxy-fuel | ~59% | We are portable; they are fixed only |
| Mainspring linear generator | ~50% | Different scale (0.23 MW vs 3–10 MW) |
Four-Pillar Moat
- 20. IP portfolio: 9 patent applications covering core cryo-ORC, railroad propulsion, and cryogenic generator cooling — plus founder's lead-inventor status on every USPTO LNG cryopump patent since 2004
- 21. Team: Only team in the world combining 20+ years cryogenic pump and turbine expertise with a signed Hitachi MOU
- 22. Partnerships: Honeywell turbine access, Hitachi generators, Flowserve pump relationship — the supply chain locks before competitors can assemble it
- 23. Published thermodynamics: While competitors keep efficiency claims behind NDA, our state-point engineering is documented and peer-reviewable — building credibility no marketing claim can match
