MISSION
Electricity for Everyone
FCG develops affordable electricity generators and batteries based on its proprietary renewable energy technologies. Maximal effort is paid to locally-source material components. .
THE NEED
One in six of the world’s population has no access to electricity. Fossil fuel generators, often the only available solution to a large class of the energy-poor, require acquisition, operating, and maintenance costs exceeding their earnings. Those with limited access to sporadic electricity, supplied via the national grid, often need batteries to store the energy for use during power outages. The diverse types of batteries on the market, suitable for providing sustained electricity for homes, industries, and electric vehicle mobility, share one thing in common – the prohibitive cost of acquisition. A lasting solution to the global electricity supply problem must be affordable and easily deployable. The solution must also meet the needs of communities with no grid-supplied electricity.
ENERGY & DEVELOPMENT
Energy is vital to the economic growth, development, security, and poverty abolition of any nation. Adequate access to energy impacts economic, social, and political development. This has influence over industrial activities, communication, health, education, and transportation. Fundamental to the standard of living is the production of food, the increase in industrial productivity, access and development of transportation, efficient telecommunication, enough shelter, and healthcare. The absence of an adequate energy supply affects all these areas. Brenda Boardman & John Kimani (2012) emphasized the interrelationship between energy, poverty, and development in the following:
- There is often a two-way relationship between the lack of access to adequate and affordable energy services and poverty. The relationship is, in many respects, a vicious cycle in which people who lack access to cleaner and affordable energy are often trapped in a re-enforcing cycle of deprivation, lower incomes and the means to improve their living conditions while at the same time using significant amounts of their very limited income on expensive and unhealthy forms of energy that provide poor and/or unsafe services
- Access to cleaner and affordable energy options is essential for improving the livelihoods of the poor in developing countries. The link between energy and poverty is demonstrated by the fact that the poor in developing countries constitute the bulk of an estimated 2.7 billion people relying on traditional biomass for cooking and the overwhelming majority of the 1.4 billion without access to grid electricity. Most of the people still reliant on traditional biomass live in Africa and South Asia.
- Limited access to modern and affordable energy services is an important contributor to the poverty levels in developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and some parts of Asia. Access to modern forms of energy is essential to overcome poverty, promote economic growth and employment opportunities, support the provision of social services, and, in general, promote sustainable human development.
TECHNOLOGY
Revolutionary Green Tech
FCG invented electrochemical cells using scrap metals and organic waste materials. There are ten pending United States Patents on FCG’s core technology. The principal active metal is aluminum, the most abundant metal element in the earth’s crust. The electrochemical cells are the building blocks for the electricity generators and the energy storage appliances.
Our renewable-based generators and batteries are built with locally sourced materials, ensuring high-quality performance while minimizing environmental impact. Choose FCG for energy that supports your needs and the planet’s future. Let’s power up, sustainably!
Products
Aluminum-Air Fuel Cell & The FCG Electricity Generator
The aluminum-air fuel cell is the building block for FCG’s Electricity Generator. Aluminum is consumed as fuel by the electrochemical reaction, in the presence of air, to produce electricity. The spent aluminum fuel, having been used to generate electricity, must be removed, and replaced with a fresh aluminum fuel supply. The fuel is supplied in the form of solid swappable modules.
Aluminum-Ion Cell & The FCG Battery System
The rechargeable aluminum-ion electrochemical cell is the building block of FCG’s Battery System. In this case, the aluminum is not consumed but contributes actively to the battery’s charging-and-recharging process.

Production & Distribution
FCG’s strategy is to manufacture the electricity generators and battery systems using production facilities built close to the users. The distribution of the products will be through local distributors (small, medium, and large scale). The products will be sold to residential consumers, micro/small-scale enterprises, medium-scale enterprises, and large-scale enterprises.
With a foundation built on cutting-edge R&D, scalable production capabilities, and a proven track record of technological breakthroughs, we are primed to work alongside diverse partners. Whether you are a government agency, academic institution, investor, or a company exploring clean energy integration, we believe that by combining our strengths, we can achieve extraordinary results.
