Sesame Solar partners with Solarion to meet needs for renewable energy resources and clean water for disaster preparedness and response in Indonesia

Sesame Solars presence in Indonesia furthers its commitment to providing renewable energy and atmospheric water generation to Island Nations.

Jackson, MI – WEBWIRE –

Sesame Solar, the company creating global climate-resilience solutions, announced today a multi-unit distribution partnership with Solarion, the leading renewable energy solutions provider in Indonesia. This partnership expands Sesame Solars presence in the Indo-Pacific region. It brings clean, renewable energy and safe drinking water for climate disaster preparedness to Indonesia.

Sesame Solar is the maker of the worlds first renewably-powered Mobile Nanogrid that is powered by solar and green hydrogen. The Nanogrids operate in a closed-loop system using sunshine, self-produced deionized water, and green hydrogen, and an optional wind turbine producing 3-20 kW of Clean Mobile Power, with total battery storage of 15-150 kWh that can self-generate Clean Mobile Power within 15 minutes of a disaster, providing resources such as reliable communications and medical hubs. Through the integration of atmospheric water generators, the Mobile Nanogrids can also generate clean drinking water from the air within minutes.

In regions such as Indonesia, this technology is essential in powering resilient communities that currently are in need of reliable infrastructure, power, and clean water.

Im honored to partner with Lasman and his outstanding team at Solarion to serve the needs of the worlds fourth most populous country. Indonesias residents are in the direct line of fire for extreme weather events, and many rural areas feel the devastating aftermath, said Lauren Flanagan, CEO and co-founder of Sesame Solar. On the heels of our partnership in the Philippines, were eager to continue extending our reach in the Indo-Pacific area.

As Sesame Solar expands its presence in the Indo-Pacific region, local distribution partners allow the company to provide its tech to regions where its needed most. Indonesia is home to more than 278 million people and holds Southeast Asias largest economy. As the worlds largest archipelagic state made up of thousands of islands, its also highly vulnerable to extreme weather events. The country is home to many highly populated areas and remains an international hub; however, many rural communities in the region need help to gain access to resources such as reliable energy, and 18 million residents need help with access to clean water.

Sesame Solars Mobile Nanogrids are ideally suited to fulfill the needs of Island Nations like Indonesia. Were excited to bring this first-of-its-kind technology to provide essential resources to our government, military, industrial, and NGO customers, and to provide them with proactive and sustainable solutions that do not produce emissions, said Lasman Citra, CEO of Solarion. We look forward to continuing to service the sizable mobile power market in partnership with Sesame Solar without contributing to climate change.

We are taking a leap forward as we join forces with Solarians top technical and commercial team to introduce our Mobile Nangrids in Indonesia, and were committed to achieving mutual success in delivering the technology to those who need it, said Namit Jhanwar, President Sesame Solar Pvt. Ltd.

Were thrilled to introduce these unprecedented resources to Indonesia, said Paul Tunney, COO of Solarion. This solution will help us to reach many people that we havent been able to before by bringing Sesames Mobile Nanogrids, equipped with battery storage, green hydrogen, and atmospheric water generation, to the forefront of vulnerable communities.

Versalis: construction site for plastics chemical recycling plant opens in Mantua

Oct 31, 2023 | Business

San Donato Milanese (MI) – WEBWIRE –

Versalis, Enis chemical company, has begun construction of a demo plant in Mantua to develop Hoop, its proprietary technology for chemical recycling of mixed plastic waste. Hoop stems from a joint project with Italian engineering company S.R.S. (Research and Development Services). The venture is aimed at developing an innovative technology that complements mechanical recycling by transforming mixed plastic waste into raw materials to produce new virgin polymers.

The project was made possible by the collaboration initiated in 2020 with Corepla (National Consortium for the Collection, Recycling and Recovery of Plastic Packaging) to enhance the value of post-consumer plastics from national recycling collection.

The technology, named Hoop to evoke circularity, has been integrated with the plastics pyrolysis product purification technologies of Technip Energies (T.EN), a leading engineering and technology company for the energy transition, developing a technology platform for advanced chemical recycling.

The Hoop technology demo plant will have capacity to handle 6,000 tonnes of secondary raw material, and is scheduled to be up and running by the end of 2024.

Hoop is the only Italian technology to have won an award from the 2023 EU Innovation Fund, allocated by the European Commission with a total of 3.6 billion and focused on innovative low-carbon technologies – with 239 projects submitted and 41 total winners.

The Hoop project is an important step forward in Versalis strategy to develop chemical recycling technology, complementary to mechanical recycling, to ensure full circularity for all plastics. The project will boost the recycling of plastic waste, thereby contributing to the recycling targets at national level in order to achieve the ones set by the European Commissioncommented Versalis CEO Adriano Alfani.
