Why Microwaves?
Neo Joule cremators benefit from that problem.
Our microwaves target water molecules and use them to volumetrically heat the process.

What are the Neo Joule applications?
Compact and light-weight with low infrastructure requirements.
The Neo Joule cremator chamber is <3 m maximum dimension, weighs <3 Tonnes and requires only 150 kW power.
Meaning it can go almost anywhere it's needed and run off renewables or a local mobile low power generator.
How does Neo Joule compare?
The Neo Joule cremator has significant advantages over traditional gas cremators and electric oven systems.
