IT'S TIME TO
INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF ENERGY
RheEnergise’s mission is to help facilitate lifetime clean energy abundance across the world. We want to develop ultra-low cost energy storage projects, without the mining and disposal problems associated with batteries, nor the pollution problems associated with gas or diesel peaked plants, nor the environmental issues over flooding valleys common with traditional pumped hydro.
RheEnergise’s HD Hydro® will help to facilitate massive growth in clean renewable energy, such as wind or solar power, which can then be used to power homes, industry, and transport.
RheEnergise’s 2024 progress:
• All High-Density turbo-machinery components delivered, ready for installation per project schedule
• Commercial opportunities in US, Poland, Chile & UK under negotiation
• Site work progressing on schedule & on budget
• Extensive non-dilutive capital awarded. Applications for further grants underway
• 4 trademarks, 3 patent awards, 4 further patents in progress
• A growing team, now 28, to accelerate commercialisation from inquiries across the world
• Funds available to build first TRL-7 demonstration-scale project
Investment objectives - your investment would support RheEnergise to:
•Transition from technology developer to commercial operator
•Complete our UK government-funded demonstration project
•Develop HD Hydro system towards TRL9 & strengthen IP
•Build further commercial traction globally
WE'RE FUNDRAISING ON CROWDCUBE
We are currently fundraising on the Crowdcube platform.
This raise will be an equity round and is part of a wider investment round.
Investment Risk Warning: Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong. Take 2 mins to learn more..’
Investing in start-ups and early-stage businesses involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Crowdcube is targeted exclusively at investors who are sufficiently sophisticated to understand these risks and make their own investment decisions. You will only be able to invest via Crowdcube once you are registered as sufficiently sophisticated.
Why invest in
RheEnergise?
1 The massive scale of the future energy storage market.
- Bloomberg New Energy Finance produce an energy storage market worth in excess of $620bn by 2040
- Aurora Energy Research predict a 13GW energy storage requirement for the UK alone by 2030.
2 RheEnergise has the opportunity to be the lowest-cost, fastest-to-construct form of energy storage available because:
- 40% lower cost than Lithium Ion batteries.
- 15 years quicker than traditional pumped hydro projects.
3 There are tens of thousands of sites available for HD Hydro projects.
- HD Hydro achieves the same power on small hills (60% lower) as water projects on mountains.
- Sites are nearly everywhere.
- Sites with hot climates, which create cooling problems for batteries or have a lack of water for traditional pumped hydro.
4 HD Hydro avoids the environmental issues associated with other energy storage and flexibility solutions.
- Batteries: extraction of toxic metals and end of life liabilities.
- Gas & diesel peaking plants: emit large amounts of CO2, particulates and nitrous oxides.
- Traditional pumped hydro: floods pristine valleys, displacing nature and sometimes people.
5 RheEnergise has solved:
- The chemistry and rheology challenges associated with developing a new fluid unique for this application.
- The understanding on how pump-turbine design is affected by the HD Fluid R-19.
- How to manage and control flow of R-19.
Valuation growth of RheEnergise
We wanted to respond to a few questions we have received regarding the Financials as well as present some more detail. The answers below are from our Chief Financial Officer, Graham Cook.
Q1: Is there a particular target you are aiming to raise on the crowdcube platform now?
A: We have no defined target, our hope for this round on crowdcube is ~£200,000, we would likely stop the raise if it reached over £1,500,000
Q2: For the demonstration project what contingencies are in place in case of cost over-runs, delays etc, is there a decent percentage of unallocated provision in the government grant to cover this?
A: The government grant did not allow any contingencies, as a specific line item. However, we frequently had a cautious approach to our budget costs, which on the whole has served us well, and enabled us to effectively manage the project through unexpected cost changes (some positive, other less so).
We are now reaching the stage of the project where risks of unknowns are mainly behind us: The construction is out of the ground (where most construction cost risk overruns tend to occur); All major high-cost items are ordered and most delivered. We do obviously have risks over the next few months; however, we now have a good track record of managing both anticipated and unexpected risks.
Q3: What is your runway prior to this funding round?
A: In addition to this Crowdcube round we are also in train with three serious investor groups currently, that if two of the three are closed will bring us significant investment. Depending on how we fare with these investors, this crowd round and others on our list we will have runway until late 2025 – late 2026.
Q4: The share price remains the same during this round as previous rounds despite what seems like huge progress. Any reason? Do you have an anticipated share price or valuation for the Pre-Series A and Series A rounds?
The market perspective on RheEnergise will likely be that we are nearing a valuation inflexion point. Innovators such as RheEnergise will see their valuation leap up at certain stages of their life as key aspects of their proposition are proven out, we are close to delivering on the first two of the three most important ones in technical proof and commercial traction (the third being scale up).
At such points innovators will see their market worth leap up as each of these milestones are met.
This is borne out by the valuations ascribed to innovators and disruptors successful in their markets. It is also backed up in our case by the dozens of engagements we have had over the last year and more with investors (both CVCs and VCs) very keen to reengage with us when we have met the first of these milestones on technical proof with the scale demonstrator.
We fully expect to see our Valuation ascribed by the market to significantly increase in 2025 and 2026 as we prove out technology and commercial milestones.
