Company Description

Green Swans is a climate technology company headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA with locations in Europe for global reach. We provide products to organizations that are focused on reducing their environmental impact but have a need for a traditional economic return. Frankly speaking, our customers care about minimizing their business risk to the environmental volatility of energy, water, and materials while maximizing any economic opportunity by implementing our products. We care about the planet, but recognize innovation will need to be the driver to implement technologies within a business. Currently, we have four technologies that are in varying stages of research or commercialization. They are a fire-safe lithium ion battery technology, TMCAqua which takes water and energy from hot gas streams (reduces energy and water), ballast water purification services (ensures global ports do not get cross contaminated with invasive species), and a fuel ionization product that makes maritime engines more efficient (reduces energy and carbon). Green Swans will be a leader in this emerging world economy that has been named, “The Climate Economy”.
