The next development phase

Pakistan roots.
Saudi expansion. GCC ambition.

The expansion plan focuses on industrial heat users and waste-management operators. Future deployment counts are roadmap targets.

2027Deployment target

First industrial projects

A pipeline target of three deployments across priority industries, supported by site matching and operating validation.

2028Scale-up target

Repeatable delivery

A target of ten units, with emphasis on manufacturability, team capacity, operating support and commercial repeatability.

2029Expansion target

Wider regional reach

A target of thirty units across KSA, the GCC and Pakistan, following successful technical and commercial validation.

These are forward-looking development targets from the 2026 company plan. Achieved milestones appear in the timeline above.

Capital plan · 2026 investor presentation

US$1 million proposed for the first five deployment units.

The plan allocates 50% to manufacturing and deployment, 30% to commercial development and key hires, and 20% to R&D, safety validation and localisation. The next stage is centred on validated operating economics and a repeatable Saudi/GCC deployment model.
