Public Research Institute, (PRI), is a state of the art provider of engineering services.
PRIs current focus is conversion of economies to Carbon Neutrality. to assist communities profitably develop their renewable resources, using state of the art technologies such as the following:
PRI and its partners developed power conversion technologies to enable commercial exploitation of resources heretofore of no commercial value. These power conversion technologies permit the Institute to offer turnkey solutions which exploit thermal resources with temperatures from 70oC to 200oC, hydrologicheads from 2 - 30 meters, and wind speeds averaging more than 5 m/sec.
PRI's Photo Voltaic solar plants produce dispatchable power at $ 0.042 /kwh, while the it's combined Wind/Solar plants produce power at $0.0265 /kwh, and it's 100 Mwe Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Plant produces power at $ 0.014 / kwh. In contrast, the competition's petroleum fueled plants produce power at $ 0.29 /kwh or more than 12 times more, and their coal plants produce power at $ 0.09 /kwh or nearly 5 times more !

PRI is managed by it's directors, for the benefit of it's members and the public, following the path laid 30 years ago... "to go where others have been.... To see what none have seen...."
or... To think outside the box.
PRI is a lean organization, with a flat organizational structure. It is managed by it’s directors, each selected for skills which complement, creating a comprehensive team.
The Institute has 4 international chapters, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Namibia, and Martinique, which report to headquarters in Brooklyn, NY
.
Headquarters supplies expertise to the chapters and is organized into 4 divisions:
Administration
Engineering
Research
Projects
The Projects division's current mission is conversion of national economies to Carbon Neutrality
The Engineering division is organized as follows:
PRI_Wind
PRI_Hydro
PRI_Geothermal
PRI Solar
The Research Division is needs driven and is currently writing up the findings from the Pegasus Expedition
