Anax Power, Magellan Scientific, and Enbridge to Deploy Turboexpanders in Ontario & Pennsylvania

Anax Power, whose proprietary technology generates clean power from natural gas, without combustion, has signed Operating Agreements with Enbridge to install its Anax Turboexpander System (“ATE”) at locations in Pennsylvania and Ontario, Canada. The projects will add up to 1.5 megawatts (MW) of clean energy capacity to Enbridge’s system at Hamilton, Ontario and up to 2MW in Pennsylvania. This emissions-free power will be consumed in Magellan Scientific’s co-located, modular, off-grid data centers.

The ATE uses the pressure and flow of natural gas within Enbridge’s pipeline to drive a turbine and generate zero-emissions electricity, without burning natural gas or releasing greenhouse gases. The Pennsylvania project marks Anax and Magellan’s second installation in the state, and the Hamilton project will be the first ATE installation in Canada. Keeping with its sustainability pledge, Enbridge is the first major pipeline in North America to adopt the ATE, which could scale to hundreds of locations across Enbridge’s system in the coming years.

Anax will install up to three (3) ATEs at an Enbridge facility in Ontario and up to four (4) ATEs in Pennsylvania. Both projects will be integrated with Magellan’s co-located, modular, off-grid data center. The resulting turboexpander-data center system self-generates clean, base load power, and uses excess cooling to improve server efficiency and thermal management. 

“These projects represent monumental milestones for Anax, and we believe this will be the start of a long partnership with Enbridge and Magellan as we scale across North America,” said Michael Longo, CEO of Anax Power. “By turning waste energy into clean electricity, this installation demonstrates how Anax makes existing energy infrastructure more sustainable—right now, with proven technology.”

The Enbridge projects expand Anax and Magellan’s portfolio of clean power projects and validate using turboexpanders to meet climate goals in a profitable way.

“Data center demands for electricity are exponentially increasing,” said Christopher Halvorson, President of Magellan Scientific. “Pairing our off-grid immersion data centers with the ATEs provides a source of 24/7, emission-free electricity. The turboexpander also helps to manage excessive heat from the data center by providing cooling at zero incremental cost.”  

“This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through innovative, sustainable solutions,” said Steven Greenley, Senior Vice President of Commercial, Enbridge Gas. “We take pride in utilizing our natural gas systems to champion environmental initiatives to enhance the well-being of the communities we operate in.”

Cargostore Worldwide Launches Revolutionary Welfare Unit Into the Global Offshore Market
Jun 09, 2025

Cargostore Worldwide Launches Revolutionary Welfare Unit Into the Global Offshore Market

Cargostore Worldwide, a leading global supplier of DNV and ISO certified shipping containers for onshore and offshore projects, has signed an exclusive global distribution agreement with Griffin Special Projects Ltd. to introduce the LiftaLoo, the next evolution in portable welfare units to the offshore market.

The partnership addresses a long-standing challenge in offshore operations; the lack of safe, hygienic and inclusive toilet facilities on structures like wind turbines and floating platforms. Despite industry efforts, this issue has continued to compromise crew well-being and site efficiency with personnel either having to wait for CTVs to return to the worksites before boarding and using the onboard facilities or making use of lower standard chemical flush solutions.

yellow containerNow part of Cargostore’s global offshore product offering, the LiftaLoo enables a practical ‘one crew, one loo’ model, allowing teams to take welfare with them as they move from structure to structure. Weighing just 212 kg and measuring 2200mm x 1092mm, the unit features a LOLER-certified single lifting point and is constructed from recyclable Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE). This eliminates the need for external aluminium framing, reducing weight and corrosion risk, and removes 8 out of 9 certification hurdles. The shatterproof LLDPE body is designed to withstand high-impact drops, ensuring durability in demanding offshore environments.

Engineered for the Ocean. Built for the Crew.

The LiftaLoo is the first of its kind to feature hot water handwashing powered by a patented low voltage rechargeable  battery system; enabling up to 224 hot washes per full charge at the UK Carehome Standard of 40 degrees. Each unit includes a full suite of welfare features designed to meet the UK Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) strictest guidelines as standard.

Compliant features include an HSE-compliant sink, towel and biodegradable sanitary bin provision, patented magnetic-sealed toilet lid, raised toilet seat height with ergonomic heel step, emergency-releasable lock, ventilation, coat hooks, solar powered lighting (≥100 lux) and an optional water purification system to prevent stagnation and Legionella in the event the unit is to be left offshore for longer periods. There is also an 87-litre sealed discharge tank fitted as standard with anti-leak technology (DIN 16194-compliant), which is removable without the need for certified lifting equipment. Each 87-litre DIN 16194-compliant sealed tank accommodates as many as 72 uses*.

The patented single lifting point mechanism reduces lifting height by 80cm and eliminates the need for complex rigging and lifting making the unit quick and easy to deploy from vessel to platform and ensuring good ease of clearance over the rail. It is a rapid and easy to deploy solution which can be used alongside teams from CTV to platform and back to CTV as teams move around offshore assets. This ensures reliable access to high-quality sanitation wherever the job takes them.

Tangible Gains for Operators and Technicians.

Cargostore has estimated that offshore technicians can currently spend up to 45 minutes per  toilet break; owing to the time it takes for a safe ladder descent from the asset, vessel transfer, and PPE removal and redress. This costs operators an estimated 1.4 hours of downtime per technician per shift which equates to a 17.5% productivity loss.

By enabling safe, hygienic and immediate access to on-site facilities, operators gain not only efficiency by eliminating the need to transfer crew back to a vessel for toilet breaks, but also improved staff well-being, reducing stress and physical strain such as the risk of infection resulting in personnel sick leave.

With demand rising across both onshore and offshore wind, this innovation supports a growing need for fit-for-purpose infrastructure that matches the sector’s expansion. The Global Wind Energy Council forecasts[1] over 500,000 new technicians will be needed by 2028 to meet net zero goals, while only[2] 21% of offshore wind workers are currently women.

The LiftaLoo supports industry-wide efforts to create safer, more inclusive environments and improves retention in challenging offshore roles.

Ekaterina Burge, Global Business Development Manager at Cargostore Worldwide, said: “It’s well-recognised that working offshore places high physical and mental demands on personnel. Operators are committed to improving the working environment offshore, not only because of their duty of care but also due to the need to attract and retain a diverse new generation of talent to accelerate clean energy projects. A truly fit-for-purpose welfare solution simply did not exist - until now.

“Our new partnership with Griffin represents a strategic step forward allowing operators to continue to raise the bar for offshore working standards worldwide. This innovation redefines what’s possible; delivering the dignity, comfort and hygiene offshore technicians deserve with the flexibility, productivity performance, emission reduction and cost savings operators demand.

“The availability of such a unit for the first time at scale marks meaningful change for both personnel well-being and operational efficiency in the global offshore sector.”
