Although the cumulated heat production of Rackam is likely to be much higher, Rackam has measured its first produced gigawatt hour (GWh) during on November 11th, 2021. The measurement comes from installations from which Rackam collects real time production data. They are located at Cascades (Kingsey Falls, Canada), the University of Sherbrooke (Sherbrooke, Canada), a […]
Project Drawdown aims to help humanity achieve “drawdown” the moment in the future at which the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will stop increasing and begin decreasing, thus stopping global warming. Project Drawdown uses science, education and communication as working tools and presents the fight against climate change as an opportunity for our […]
The World Meteorological Organization announces that it is becoming increasingly likely that the increase in global average temperatures will exceed 1.5 C compared to the pre-industrial era by the year 2025. Link to the press release

Small video that transports us near Jinan in China where the project manager of Rackam Patrick Pomerleau spent two weeks to finalize the installation of this test bench of 190kW, comprising 6 rows of Rack20 with 4 modules.
Apart from heat pumps and other techniques used for recovering energy from existing heat sources in a factory, the parabolic solar concentrator provides two advantages: 1. Reducing the consumption of fossil fuels for process heat generation2. Lower cooling costs by reducing the heat input to the roof with the installation of solar collectors that absorb […]
Desalination file, Article 2/3 As discussed in the previous article “Solar desalination, a solution to a growing global problem”, desalination seems to be the most appropriate technical way to solve the global freshwater shortage. First of all, it would provide another supply source, especially in countries close to the ocean that experience substantial hydric stress. […]
