About Cascade
Cascade Clean Energy, Inc. is incorporated in Delaware. Our mission is to operate a sustainable, energy effective system of wastewater treatment that reduces treatment costs while also extracting clean energy from the wastewater. We have designed and developed CASCADE Methane Bioreactor and CASCADE MFC products as a complete Waste Water Works (WWW) solution. The Cascade Clean Energy is a spin-off company from Quantum Intelligence, Inc.
The Water Problems to Face and the Opportunity to Serve
About 2.6 billion people or 42% of Earth’s population lack access to basic sanitation. Inadequate handling of wastewater has serious consequences for human health, the environment and economic development. It contaminates the water supply, increasing the risk of infectious diseases and deteriorating groundwater and other local ecosystems. But the cost of treating wastewater can be very high and governments often have insufficient resources available for mitigating action.
Waste Water Works (WWW) is a sustainable wastewater treatment solution developed at CASCADE Clean Energy, Inc. WWW, developed from a Small Business Innovation Research contracts from US Army CASCADE (Computer-Assisted Strain Construction and Development Engineering) increases the efficiency of clean energy production (e.g. methane, hydrogen or electricity) from wastewater, maximizes the efficiency of Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). WWW reduces treatment costs while also generating clean energy from wastewater. Ninety-nine percent of current wastewater treatment facilities do not recover any energy from wastewater, while the remaining 1% only harvest 15% of the total energy stored in the organic waste. Our patented technology utilizes smart microorganisms to optimize the sludge digestion process and microbial fuel cell (MFC) to recover clean energy from wastewater. This represents a $15B market in the U.S., and $60B globally addressable by our technology and business solutions. This solution has the potential to generate $10 billion of methane or electricity, saves another $10 billion in energy costs, while still cleaning wastewaters effectively for the wastewater treatment facilities in U.S. alone.
