“NESI – R.E.D.” (Renewable Energy Division) has successfully completed and is continually pursuing Green projects on many fronts. Cogeneration (AKA – CHP Combined Heat and Power), Hydroelectricity, Wind Turbine/Wind Power and Solar Power. Seeing the trend and more focus being placed on alternative energy sources, NESI has set up an internal division (NESI – R.E.D.) specifically to GO GREEN!

DID YOU KNOW…

Renewable energy technologies are essential contributors to sustainable energy as they generally contribute to world energy security, reducing dependence on fossil fuel resources, and providing opportunities for mitigating greenhouse gases. The International Energy Agency states that:

“Conceptually, one can define three generations of renewables technologies, reaching back more than 100 years.

First-generation technologies emerged from the industrial revolution at the end of the 19th century and include hydropower, biomass combustion, and geothermal power and heat. Some of these technologies are still in widespread use.

Second-generation technologies include solar heating and cooling, wind power, modern forms of Bioenergy, and solar photovoltaic. These are now entering markets as a result of research, development and demonstration (RD&D) investments since the 1980s. The initial investment was prompted by energy security concerns linked to the oil crises (1973 and 1979) of the 1970s but the continuing appeal of these renewables is due, at least in part, to environmental benefits. Many of the technologies reflect significant advancements in materials.

Third-generation technologies are still under development and include advanced biomass gasification, biorefinery technologies, concentrating solar thermal power, hot dry rock geothermal energy, and ocean energy. Advances in nanotechnology may also play a major role.
