Phasic Joins NATO’s DIANA Program: A Milestone for Innovation and Sustainability

Phasic Joins NATO’s DIANA Program: A Milestone for Innovation and Sustainability

Phasic has reached a remarkable milestone: acceptance into NATO’s Defense Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) 2025 program. Out of 2,600 global applicants, only 3% were selected. This recognition affirms the groundbreaking potential of Phasic’s technology and its ability to address critical challenges in energy efficiency and sustainability for both civilian and defense applications.

What Is NATO’s DIANA Program?

DIANA is NATO’s flagship initiative to accelerate innovation in dual-use technologies—solutions that benefit both civilian and defense applications. By connecting innovators with test centers, accelerator sites, and mentorship, DIANA empowers participants to address real-world operational challenges with cutting-edge technology.

For Phasic, being part of DIANA offers more than recognition—it’s a launchpad to scale our transformative technology, refine its applications, and collaborate with a global network of innovators.

Why Phasic’s Technology Stands Out

Phasic’s technology aligns seamlessly with DIANA’s vision for scalable, dual-use innovation, transforming low-grade waste heat into reliable, renewable electricity. As pioneers in this space, we’ve achieved technical breakthroughs that redefine how this untapped energy source can be harnessed for meaningful impact. Here’s how Phasic is uniquely equipped to make a difference:

Transforming Waste into Opportunity

Low-grade waste heat—generated abundantly by data centers, industrial facilities, and military operations—has long been considered too diffuse to convert efficiently. Phasic’s proprietary heat engines and exchangers break this barrier, unlocking a vast, untapped energy source that provides clean, reliable power for critical operations. By doing so, Phasic contributes to significant reductions in CO₂ emissions, advancing global climate goals while delivering zero-carbon electricity at an unsubsidized Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of $37 per MWh. This showcases our ability to provide cost-effective energy solutions without reliance on government subsidies, making waste heat electrification a scalable and practical solution for energy-critical operations.

Real-World Applications Across Sectors

Phasic’s technology addresses critical energy demands across a range of operations, from military bases and naval vessels to hyperscale data centers and manufacturing facilities. By converting waste heat into reliable, on-site electricity, our systems enhance energy security, reduce costs, and lower emissions for both defense and civilian sectors. In defense applications, Phasic’s technology supports energy resilience for forward-operating bases and critical facilities. Potential uses include powering satellite communications, lighting, and cooling systems in remote operations, offering NATO countries mobile, ruggedized solutions for electricity generation. 

Our modular, scalable systems integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructure, enabling rapid deployment across diverse environments and making our solutions adaptable to the unique demands of defense and civilian applications. Whether improving military readiness or advancing urban sustainability, Phasic’s solutions drive efficiency and long-term resilience.

The Scale of the Opportunity Across NATO:

In the U.S. alone, waste heat represents 20,000 terawatts annually—more than four times the country’s total energy output. Electrifying even a small fraction of this low-grade waste heat could significantly reduce the need to build new power plants to meet the nation’s rapidly growing electricity demand. While data varies across NATO member nations, it’s reasonable to approximate that combined waste heat potential could exceed 50,000 terawatts annually. This presents an unparalleled opportunity for NATO to enhance energy resilience, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and meet sustainability objectives across member nations.

Advancing Growth Through DIANA:

Phasic leverages advanced proprietary technologies such as generative AI, digital twinning, and 3D metal manufacturing to invent groundbreaking waste heat recovery solutions. As a DIANA participant, Phasic gains access to NATO’s test centers, where our technology can be rigorously evaluated and refined for broader applications. With DIANA’s support, we aim to ensure its performance and scalability across diverse energy-critical operations. Through mentorship and collaboration opportunities, we are positioned to scale our solutions, addressing challenges across NATO’s network and driving meaningful progress in energy security and sustainability.

A Vision for Resilient Energy Solutions

Phasic’s acceptance into NATO’s DIANA program underscores our dedication to transforming inefficiency into opportunity and waste into a valuable resource. With DIANA’s support, we are advancing innovative solutions to strengthen energy resilience, reduce emissions, and deliver measurable benefits for industries, communities, and energy-critical operations worldwide. 

Phasic’s technology represents the foundation of a new renewable energy industry that transforms waste heat into wealth, advancing sustainability while strengthening energy independence and economic resilience.
