CBA233—Flow CBA
Below is a placeholder video, until we prepare a unique video introduction for CBA233.
Summary:
The Flow CBA supports the essential flowing utilities that move water, wastewater, stormwater, energy, heat, materials, and information through modern society. Member companies develop and deploy the common technologies and services these utilities depend upon, including pumping systems, flow measurement, automation and control platforms, engineering and construction services, AI-assisted operations, advanced sensing, and resilient communications. The CBA also promotes next-generation and high-tech infrastructure, including Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) interception, distributed biological resource recovery, space-based energy systems, geothermal applications, and other emerging flow technologies. Member companies share a common Value-Linked Currency (VLC), aligning economic incentives while encouraging collaboration, innovation, and long-term investment across the Flow CBA ecosystem. By bringing together utilities, research and development organizations, engineering firms, construction companies, technology providers, and other supporting enterprises, the Flow CBA strengthens the infrastructure that supports modern civilization while preparing for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
Companies likely to emerge here include:
- Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) ground integration
- Pumped storage design & operation
- Distributed microgrids
- Water purification & desalination
- Grid-monitoring AI
- Hydrogen electrolysis
- Long-duration batteries
- Heat-exchange industrial recovery systems
Potential migration:
This CBA requires foundational municipal and safety frameworks first.
- Some tech flows back into Municipal Governance CBA
- Some energy-grid models feed into Insurance & Predictive Safety CBA
